What is recorded here

Wall-mounted cast-iron post box, erected c.1915, with raised monogram of George V and lettering 'Post Office'. Maker’s mark to base of door. Set in rubble limestone wall to east of dressed limestone gate pier.
This post box is an example of the work of the London foundry of W. T. Allen & Co. The George V monogram and lettering enlivens the otherwise functional design. The manufacture of post boxes of this style was undertaken during the reign of George V between 1910 and 1936. They are rarer in Ireland than the earlier Victorian boxes, due to the shortened reign of George V in Ireland.
