Derry - Medieval Walled City - Derry Map Sign
Location of this sign is in Guild Square outside the wall at its base. The oval-shaped wall encloses a much larger area than I anticipated. The walls were built between 1613 & 1618, originally with just four gates (Shipquay to north, Ferryquay to east, Bishop to south, Butcher to west). Three new gates were added since the 18th century (Castle & Magazine between Butcher & Shipquay, New Gate between Bishop & Ferryquay). The wall circumference is about one mile with a width of 12-35 feet and a height of about 18-28 feet.
