Drimnagh Castle
Drimnagh Castle is a Norman castle in the Drimnagh suburb of Dublin, notable for being the only surviving Irish castle with a flooded moat fed by a tributary of the River Camac. The surviving core consists of a 15th-century great hall with an attached later tower and surrounding curtain walls; the site was restored and reopened to the public in the late 20th century.

As it stood in 1420
The shape it held in its prime.
A compact stone castle set within a flooded moat, dominated by a tall, rectangular 15th-century tower attached to a lower range containing the great hall; both rise directly from a continuous stone curtain wall topped with crenellated battlements. Walls are built of roughly coursed grey rubble with dressed corner stones, punctured by vertical arrow-slits and a few larger hall windows. The skyline is characterised by squared merlons on the parapets and a visible gateway arch at the base of the tower.
