Letter box, Blackskull
Image: © Albert Bridge Taken: 5 Oct 2011
Post-mounted EIIR letter box on the south western side of the crossroads on the Donaghacloney and Killysorrell Roads. The name seems to come from an incident (during, I think, the war of 1641/2) when a soldier was beheaded. His head was left on view outside the local inn. The Irish name is Baile Mhic Dhonnagain (accents omitted).
