WD No5

Image: © Kenneth Allen Taken: 11 Oct 2005

This War Department Marker Stone is at the grass verge along the Hospital Road, Omagh - no one ever disturbs or vandalises it. It is the only one that I currently know of that is in this area In October 2017 I noted that a newly planted laurel hedge was starting to hide it Image I noticed another marker stone near Buncrana County Donegal Image It was near an ancient fort, one of several Napoleonic batteries designed to counter the threat of French invasion Image Recently as a result of site works another stone about 50 metres away was unearthed and though I couldn't see any markings, I thought it could be another one Image In October 2018, I noted that WD no.5 was hidden from view behind a hedge Image
