sign post — Clonmult

The record classifies sign post — Clonmult as sign post. It does not safely state the first owner's purpose beyond that use, so this first account does not borrow a story from a namesake.

No architect, builder, owner, worker or resident is named in the saved wording. Those people remain unknown until the linked official record or another source identifies them.

The saved wording does not establish particular rebuilding, extensions, damage or changes of use. No visible feature is assigned a date without supporting evidence.

The public record still identifies the place as sign post. Its saved point marks the building or centre of its recorded area, but the stock wording does not provide a room-by-room condition report.

sign post — Clonmult matters for the exact reasons given in its official assessment, rather than merely because it is an old structure. The source records: A notable example of early twentieth-century road furniture, this road sign has a simplicity and clarity of design typical of its time. Its functional nature is enhanced and emphasised by casting using capital letters in a clear simple font without serifs. The harp motif indicates a date of production after the foundation of the State. This explains what the place adds to local life, the street or the surviving built history.
