Very little, apart from two corner towers and a short stretch of stone wall, remains of the medieval Dublin Castle.
However, during restoration work carried out by the Office if Public Works in the 1980s the massive lower section of the Gunpowder Tower, one of Dublin Castle's original corner bastions, was discovered as were the tower steps leading up to a postern gate, a section of the old town wall and the River Poddle itself which once formed the moat. These ruins were restored and preserved under the foundations of the new buildings and now a very evocative part of the official guided tour of the castle.
