What is recorded here

Wall-mounted cast-iron post box, erected c. 1890. Mounted on coursed limestone rubble church boundary wall. Raised VR lettering and crown motif. Cast-iron tie ring in wall to south.

This cast-iron post box, which is still in use, is an important, if subtle item of street furniture that represents an early surviving example of mass-produced cast-iron work. The raised royal cipher and crown motif enhance the design quality of the composition and are of significance as a tangible reminder of Ireland as part of the British Empire. The location of the post box at a church and the tie ring indicates the site's place in the community.
