Dating from the reign of Queen Victoria, this cast-iron post box forms an attractive piece of roadside furniture illustrating Ireland's historic past. The box features some simple artistic details which include its royal insignia, cipher and mouldings, which could be easily reproduced during the casting process. Overlooking a road junction, the box is well situated to offer the postal service to members of the surrounding community and passers by.
