Fundamental Bench Mark is a surveying benchmark located in Belfast, Northern Ireland. Benchmarks of this type were established during the nineteenth-century triangulation and levelling surveys that formed the basis of the Ordnance Survey's systematic mapping of the British Isles. The mark itself consists of a small horizontal reference point, typically cut into stone or fixed to a building, which served as a precise elevation datum for subsequent surveying work. Such benchmarks remain important documentary evidence of nineteenth-century surveying practice and the technical infrastructure underlying modern cartographic records.
