What is recorded here
Watchtower in Dublin South City is a watchtower in County Dublin, Ireland. Perhaps De Courcy witnessed it rising on the old bridge corner, a stone eye watching quay traffic for the parish constabulary. Maybe guards stood there through rain and darkness, pointing at suspicious shadows or ordinary barges. Imagine the tower still holding that duty in memory, translating human anxiety into visible architecture.
De Courcy mentions a watch tower built for the parish constabulary on the corner of the old bridge and the quay.
