What is recorded here

Wall-mounted round-topped cast-iron post box, erected c.1940, with raised 'P&T' monogram in Gaelic letters on door, latter with rounded edges. Set in square-plan smooth rendered pier of garden wall.
The modest form of this box is enhanced by the simple and well executed raised lettering. The use of Gaelic lettering was common on public structures in post-Independence Ireland. It is located adjacent to a former smithy, which would have been a focal point for the local community. The postbox is still in use today.

This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
