What is recorded here

Upright cast-iron borough boundary marker, erected in 1842, and set into the wall on the North Circular Road. It reads: Borough of Limerick. 3 & 4 " Victoria Chap, 108 & 109 Martin Honan Esqr. Mayor 1842'. Relief on the front of the marker depicts the arms of the city: showing a twined curved castle walls with battlements which flank a gabled entrance. Pointed arched entrance doorway with three-light window above, surmounted by a flying flag at the apex of the gable. Gun loops on the façade of the entrance bay complete the setting of the relief. The name of the manufacturer, at the base of the marker, is obscured due to the resurfacing of the footpath.

This surviving piece of street furniture marked the borough boundary of Limerick City. Its survival and the artistic detailing of the relief add to its architectural heritage merit.
