Appraisal
This signal box played an important role in the function at the Belmont and Cloghan railway station. Though now disused and in poor repair, the structure still stands as a reminder of its past use and the great railway era in Ireland. Yellow brick base wall and an attractive roof design give this functional structure architectural appeal.
