What is recorded here
Known as Castle Bridge this provided access to Dublin Castle from Castle Street (Bradley & King 1987, 37). Excavations in this area between 1985-6 exposed the outer portion of the Castle moat opposite the outer main entrance, the outer edge of the moat curved in at this point to abut one end of a large rectangular barbican aligned on the entrance (Lynch & Manning 1987, 178) (FMD map 1978, C1; Clarke 2002, 22).
