Viking House Discovered at Hammond Lane

January 4, 2010

Archaeologists excavating a site at Hammond Lane, Church Street on Dublin’s north side have discovered the remains of a classic Viking House. The house is the first complete plan of this type of house to have been discovered on the north side of the River Liffey and dates to the late Viking Age, immediately prior to the Anglo Norman invasion.

The site has been excavated on a phased basis since 2003 with Malone O’Regan responsible for the overall project management of the works.
