Wall-mounted cast-iron post box installed c.1890. Raised “VR” royal cipher and crown above embossed letter slot. Hinged outward opening door with keyhole. Illegible foundry mark to bottom. Set within roughcast rendered wall.
Cast-iron post boxes such this are becoming increasing rare throughout Ireland. The modest form of this box is enhanced by the simple and well-designed lettering and crown, which add artistic interest.
