Bolt bench mark (bolt removed though) near the door of St Nicholas's in Carrickfergus Image This mark dates from the 1st levelling of Ireland which took place in 1839-43. The original remarks for the mark describe it as "Carrickfergus Church. Copper bolt driven into stonework at side of door; 2.6 feet above surface". It was initially levelled to 47.572 feet above sea level but has not appeared on recent maps.
