Archbold's Castle is a castle and a National Monument in Dalkey, Ireland.
Archbold's Castle is found on a hill, in Dalkey, 60m (200feet) west of Goat Castle (now known as Dalkey Castle).
Archbold's Castle was formerly a fortified warehouse, of which two storeys remain. A machicolation is visible above the doorway.[2] [3] Of seven castles which once stood in Dalkey, only two remain, Archbold's and Goat Castle.[4] Archbold is a Hiberno-Norman surname, ultimately from Norman Archambault (ercan meaning "precious" + bald meaning "bold").
