What is recorded here

Wall-mounted cast-iron post box, erected c.1940, with raised 'P&T insignia in Gaelic script above letter slot. Set into rubble limestone boundary wall. Located adjacent to cross road junction to northeast of Ballymore.
An attractive and unassuming item of street furniture representing an early surviving artifact of mass-produced cast-iron ware. This wall-mounted post box is typical of Ireland's post-Independence boxes. The raised Gaelic/Celtic Revival-style script is aesthetically pleasing and enlivens the appearance of this otherwise functional object.
