What is recorded here
Cast-iron wall-mounted post box, erected c.1915, with royal insignia of King George V and crown. Set in rubble limestone boundary wall at crossroads.
The insignia and crown on this post box are reminders of the period in Ireland immediately prior to Independence. George V was the last of the British monarchs to have his insignia on post boxes in Ireland. The social significance is highlighted by its prominent position at a crossroads.
