What is recorded here
Archbold's Castle stands on a Dalkey hill as a two-storey fortified warehouse from the fourteenth century, preserving a machicolation above its doorway while six neighbouring castles vanished. The Hiberno-Norman name connects the building to Archambault, where precious and bold collide inside one word. It remains one of two Dalkey castles still standing, watching the coast with stone patience instead of disappearing like the others.
