Next we visited Wood Quay, the original Viking settlement in Dublin. Unfortunately, the Civic Offices were built over this in the 1980s. We looked at the bronze replicas of artefacts set in to the cobblestone to see what kind of evidence was found here when they excavated. We also looked at the outline of a Viking longhouse. Here we are standing around one. It looks big but a lot of people would have slept, cooked and ate in this one room. We picked out the bedding areas, the cooking areas and we think we even found where the toilets were!!
