What is recorded here

Wall-mounted cast-iron post box, erected c. 1880, with VR insignia and crown motif. Replacement cast-iron door, c. 1925, having embossed Saorstat Éireann emblem. Mounted in rubble limestone wall.

This well preserved cast-iron post box, with its Queen Victoria monogram and Free State emblem serves as an important reminder of the change from British to Irish administration in the early years of the Free State. For this reason, the post box is of social and historical importance; it is also of technical interest for its cast-iron construction. The Saorstat Éireann emblem, in particular, is a design feature of artistic note.
