Bench Mark, Larne
Image: © Rossographer Taken: 18 Feb 2023
Bench mark on the porch of the parish church in Larne (St Cedma's Image). This mark dates from the 1st geodetic levelling of Ireland which took place in 1839-43. It consists of a cut mark with a copper bolt driven into the wall of the church. The mark was included as a side level on the Belfast to Portrush line. The original remarks describe it as "Larne Church. Copper bolt driven into North-west coinstone of Tower at door; 3.3 ft. above surface." The mark was originally levelled to 41.5 feet, later revised to 9.84 metres above MSL.
