Appraisal
An unassuming item of street furniture representing an early-surviving artefact of mass-produced cast-iron ware. Raised details contribute significantly to the design value of the marker. Although of comparatively recent vintage a later street sign incorporates attractive Old Irish lettering indicating the continued promotion of a national cultural identity in the mid twentieth century.
