Drimnagh Castle — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Single-arch bridge, built c.1780, renovated c.1990, spanning moat at castle entrance to east elevation and abutting castle tower. Rubble calp limestone walls with round arch having dressed limestone voussoirs and castellated parapets. Earthen finish to path. Bridge partially reconstructed to north wall, remnants of render finish to south wall.

A traditionally constructed bridge in unrefined locally-sourced stone resulting in an appealing textured visual effect. This eighteenth-century stone bridge replaced an earlier drawbridge structure. The moat was designed as a defensive measure to minimise the risk of enemy invasion, protecting people and animals within its enclosure. The replacement of the drawbridge with a stone bridge in the eighteenth century signifies a change in attitude to defence at the castle.
