ward boundary marker — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Round-headed granite boundary marker, erected c.1850, marking boundary of Wood Quay Ward. Square-profile recess to front (south) elevation, cast-iron plaque missing, cast-iron rivets remain.

Boundary markers were erected to identify the extent of territorial units/election constituencies for local government elections, and were made of metal or stone. This subtle but interesting piece of street furniture makes a pleasing contribution to the quay-side. It is also of contextual interest as a reminder of the nineteenth-century civic organisation of Dublin, with the on-going development of the quays. It forms part of a group with corresponding markers to the west and north of Richmond Bridge.
