Bench Mark, Enniskillen
Image: © Rossographer Taken: 14 Mar 2015
Cut bench mark located on the west side of Enniskillen Castle. This mark dates from the 1st geodetic levelling of Ireland which took place in 1839-43. The mark was originally just a cut or pivot mark, but there is a small rivet added just above the arrow - if connected to the mark this would have been added later. The original remarks describe it as "Enniskillen Castle Barracks. Mark on sill of door; 3.3 ft. above surface." It was initially levelled to 165.237 feet above sea level; the mark does not appear on any modern maps.
