Last month, the Locating Bench Marks, Preserving Heritage team visited Poolbeg Lighthouse, where height measurement in Ireland began. The pivot bench mark (20.9 ft above sea level) aligns with the 1837 OS datum, used nationwide until replaced by Malin Headβs Portmore Pier in the late 20th century.

Benchmarks chiselled onto grey stone. The benchmark includes an upward pointing 'broad arrow' topped by a horizontal line cut known as the 'bench'.
"Benchmarks are now recognised as remarkable feats of scientific engineering that helped shape our understanding of Ireland's terrain"
In RTΓ Brainstorm, UL's Dr Catherine Porter & Margaret O'Sullivan share the story behind benchmarks
