The three hidden castles buried beneath the streets of Belfast
A castle built under the command of Sir Arthur Chichester in the early 1600s was destroyed by fire a century later
Then it was an Anglo-Norman castle, believed to consist of an earthen mound, similar to mottes that remain visible in townlands such as Dundonald. Similar stone towers from this period have survived, such as Audley's Castle and Kilclief Castle, close to Strangford. Among the writings is a reference to the old "decayed" castle, the O'Neill building, part of which was retained and linked to the new Chichester castle via a staircase.
It added, however, the area was recognised as having a "heightened archaeological potential within the historic core of Belfast".Ruairí Ó Baoill has previously carried out excavations in Castle Lane in 1983
