Description
Fishamble street is one of the oldest streets in Dublin, and dates back to the Viking longphort, which was established as a permanent settlement by 841. Fishamble street was in the eastern side of the settlement, with Winetavern Street marking the western side. Dublin City Council's Civic Offices now cover most of this area. Fishamble street saw excavations in the late 1970s and 80s which uncovered remarkably preserved building plots from the Viking town. Crafts undertaken in this area include wood and amber working, and many artefacts are on display in the National Museum of Ireland.
