The Moat was constructed to house the explosives used during the construction of Donaghadee Harbour and dates back to 1818. It was built on the site of a Norman Motte & Bailey from which it got its name The Moat. Now part of a park it gives commanding views over the town and out to the Copeland Islands a few miles off-shore
