What is recorded here

Wall-mounted cast-iron box, erected c.1940, with raised ‘P & T’ lettering in Celtic Revival script above hooded letter opening. Set in a field entrance gate pier.

This post box is still in use and is a good example of the high quality design and production of mass produced cast-iron in the twentieth century. The use of Celtic Revival script records the promotion of national identity following the establishment of the Free State. This particular design probably dates to after 1937 as earlier post-Independence post boxes usually had the ‘S.E.’ cipher of Saorstat Eireann.

This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
