"This is a map constructed by an historian - Leonard Strangeway's 1904 The Walls of Dublin. It depicts the medieval city and walls, but it was made much later. Unlike most maps, Strangeways' map is ""the other way round"" so please bear in mind here that South is ""up"" and North is ""down"". The walls and fortifications around Dublin were first in the 9th C but the defences of Dublin eventually fell into disrepair - although they continued to serve a purpose as late as 1762. In that year, an auction took place - selling the rights to collect tolls at each of the (then) seven city gates. This auction raised £4,000 for the city. St Werburgh's Gate (at that time) was also known as Le Pole Gate) and this is where Bollardt's plot of waste land was located – somewhere near the intersection of modern day Little Ship Street and Werburgh Street."
