What is recorded here

Wall-mounted postbox, erected c.1915, bearing G.R. cipher and crown emblem.
Finely crafted post-box produced during the short rein of George IV. Relatively few of these post-boxes were produced, and fewer still survive in the countryside. The modest form of this box is enhanced by the simple and well-designed lettering and crown, which add artistic interest to this functional object, and are reminders of Ireland's status prior to Independence. Cast-iron post boxes such as this are often replaced by plastic versions and are becoming increasing rare throughout Ireland.

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