What is recorded here

Pole-mounted round-headed cast-iron post box, installed c. 1915, having curved corners with banding to door. Raised lettering and royal cipher of King George V. Located on road side.
This is a very unusual road side feature dating from the reign of King George V. In comparison to earlier models, post boxes dating from this period in Ireland are very rare as shortly after George V's ascension to the throne the War of Independence commenced. Post boxes such as this one is a fine example of the high quality mass produced cast-iron street furniture, which was produced during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
