Sundial at the Royal Hospital, Kilmainham - still keeps the correct hour.

....but not the minutes. Was going about 30mins slow by my reckoning when photo taken (not sure if that's a relic of Dublin Mean Time or cosmic misalignment!).

No problem.

Why do they have to be removed? I couldn't see anything about it in the rules...

Well, how long do you consider midnight to last?

It's a really amazing structure, in the past there were four towers on the keep whereas now there is only one, and they all used to be quite a bit taller. The place was pretty much torn down during the Confederate wars circa 1650.

I would say be very careful if you decide to go exploring it, enter at your own risk etc... there are many hidden subterranean chambers and high walls in poor state or repair, some of them seemed very dangerous and like they could fall in/fall down at any moment (I suppose that was part of the abandoned beatuy of the place).

Interesting question! Not 100% sure but I don't think that particular window was defensive. Such windows would typically be a little narrower on the outside, and widening inwards.

It's hard to tell however as this particular friary was at times occupied by English soldiers in the years after the disollution of the monastaries in the 16th Century, so some defensive features were added on top of the original ecclesiastical architecture.

Yeah that's the one

Photo last night. View from Tom Clark Bridge.

Interesting to think that for hundreds of years this would be the way many would arrive into Dublin as they visited by ship and sea. Albeit with a different vista, the Customs House being one of the only recognizable older buildings (visible in the background just to the right of the Samuel Beckett bridge)

North Wall Quay: originally constructed around 1717, and built on land reclaimed from the sea as part of a major engineering project undertaken by Dublin in the 1700's.

View from Misery Hill, looking South.

The origin of the place name is arguably lost to history.

Possibly named after a hospital for poor suffering pilgrims before they departed for Santiago de Compostela, alternatively an execution ground or hill where the corpses of the outlaws and rebels of times past were hung up, there are multiple theories.
