What is recorded here
Detached single-bay two-storey railway signal box, built c.1880, now disused. Hipped slate roof with rendered brick chimneystack. Rendered walls with rusticated stone base. Fixed timber windows and external steel satirs to first floor.
This signal box, which formed part of the former Horse and Jockey railway station is significant for its historical association with the former railway line, which was constructed in 1880, and for its ability to demonstrate this former use. With the adjoining station, the building's form and fabric still clearly delineates the layout of the railway line. The building, with the station, makes an interesting contribution to the roadscape at this well-known location on the old Cork-Dublin road.
