Ok, I've completed all my objectives at this point except searching the lost citadel in the sewers in the docks. I keep finding what I assume is the entrance; a ladder leading down into the ground, in a niche with a cart beside it. (EDIT: I don't remember the name of the level this is in, but this ladder is near the entrance to the Docks level as well as the entrance to the prison.) However, there's a grate covering the opening. So far, I haven't been able to get it to select or anything to try to open it. Or is there supposed to be a glyph on the wall nearby that will let me in?
I've searched walkthroughs and these forums, and it seems this is usually caused by not finding all the books/hearing all the conversations in the Keeper's area. But, I'm pretty sure I have... I already completed the objective about searching the Forbidden Library and finding more information about the Dark Age before I went to Overlook Mansion.
I even returned to the Forbidden Library and overheard a woman and a guy have a conversation about "The One True Keeper" on the stairs leading to the 2nd floor (of the Forbidden Library, not the unforbidden area). She's on a pretty tight patrol on the stairs and I don't think I can slip through, so I don't think I'm meant to return back to the upper levels. Yes, I've been in the secret room way up high already...
I just double-checked, and indeed searching the lost citadel is the only objective currently unfilled in my Goals screen. Am I missing something, or am I the victim of a bug?

You are in the wrong place. Go to the dock section of the maps. Go to the <s>olde</s> South Quarter where Garrett lives. You pass the prison gate in that map area and go to the portal at the end of the street.
Enter the docks. Turn right then left, you will come to another gate just opposite the stairs down to the fence's shop. Pass that.
Ahead of you will be a flat area and a flight of steps down to the main dock area.
To your right up high is a round window and a gas arrow, just before that will be a little niche in the wall. Go in there. Go all the way to the back.

Garrett lives in South Quarter, no?

Right you are. :o

That did the trick! Thanks guys. I don't know how many times I must have walked right past that entrance without seeing it.
I was so sure I must have had it; figured "at the entrance to the docks, looking like it goes under the wall into the docks" was close enough to "in the docks". :P

Glad we could help. If TDS is your first THIEF, and you have a PC and manage to get the other games (TDP, GOLD, TMA) don't try to "Beat" the game. You'll just end up, as now, wondering what you missed. :)
Take your time and examine every shadow, niche, corner and every inch of every room or area you enter.
Else, like the "niche" to the Citadel, you will spend hours or days wandering around looking for that last piece of loot, objective (goal) or secret. :D
