Summary
[edit]DescriptionDrogheda - St Laurence Gate guarded the main eastern approach (3761079222).jpg |
Drogheda still has most of its original "Gates" from being a walled Medieval town. St Laurence Gate guarded the main eastern approach. St. Lawrence's Gate, in Drogheda, is the by-product of Anglo-Norman concepts of defining urban space with stout walls and earthworks pierced at intervals by heavily defended gates. It was originally one of ten gates which gave ingress and egress to the medieval town of Drogheda which was founded in the last years of the 12th century by the powerful Anglo-Norman de Lacy family. The term 'gate' is in this case a misnomer as this structure is in fact a barbican, or defended fore-work which stood directly outside the original gate of which no surface trace survives. Barbicans were generally placed on the outer edge of the fosses which encircled town walls and acted, along with the gate behind it, as an extra line of defence. Both the gate and the barbican would have possessed stout gates with a drawbridge between the two, which could be raised in case of attack. |
