"It's basically like a big treasure hunt" Margaret O'Sullivan from UL's School of History & Geography spoke to Clare FM about a new UL research project that's seeking the public's assistance to locate Irish heritage relics known as bench marks. 🎧 www.clare.fm/podcasts/ul-... ‪@ulgeog.bsky.social‬
A bench mark chiselled onto a large stone with green grass growing at the bottom of the stone. The bench mark includes an upward pointing 'broad arrow' topped by a horizontal line cut known as the 'bench'.
