Talk:Barbican

Celtic?
Im sure I read in a place name book that 'the barbican' in looe is a mutation from a celtic name, I think it ended byghan/bean/beghan (small.) I don't know if this is a 'possibility' rather than something taken from old maps or references but if it is definite then it would raise the possibilty of some other areas being named in the same way. Unfortunatley I don't have the book so I can't check it up. obviously the name probably would have been changed to the common 'barbican' by a mapmaker or somone if this was the case, in the same way as seaton looks like 'sea town' but actually comes from the name of the river, seythen or something (this is probably completetly wrong word, this is all just from my rather inept memory) 131.111.8.104

Design info?
Can someone add some information on the design principles? What were these designed to protect against, how did they do so, and how was the design eventually attacked effectively enough that they became obsolete? What replaced them? ★NealMcB★ (talk) 22:20, 30 March 2013 (UTC)
