What is recorded here
Mural tower (Historic Town) in Unknown Townland is a historic town place in County Dublin, Ireland. It is known locally as Mural tower (Historic Town) in Unknown Townland. People still point to it, remember it, or argue about what it meant when the town was younger. The stones, streets and surrounding land keep that much of the local story alive.
Dublin Castle: Known as the 'Store House Tower' or the' Powder Tower' this was formerly located at the NE corner of Dublin Castle. Excavations in 1985-86 uncovered most of the base of the circular tower, sitting on bedrock associated with 14th century layers producing pottery and coins. It overlay a section of rampart that enclosed the Viking town. A section of medieval wall abutted the Powder Tower (Lynch and Manning 1987, 178; Healy 1973, 16).
