Keyser's Hill in Cork
Place names
This narrow lane leading up from the south bank of the River Lee in Cork is one of the only place names in the city with possible Norse roots. The name may come from the ON word <em>keisari</em> (meaning emperor) or more likely from <em>keisa</em>, meaning to bend or jut out. The location next to the bend in the river favours the second etymology, though it may be a later corruption of 'Quay Hill'.

History of Cork Art Mural in Grattan Street Carpark
Illustration - children
History of Cork Art Mural in Grattan Street Carpark, painted by pupils from Cork Educate Together National School (Installation by O’Shea Builders Ltd & PJ Hegarty & Sons Ltd, sponsored by KBC Bank.)
The mural includes a lively section on the Viking history of Cork, about which we know very little. The children chose to focus on warfare, bloodshed and (of course) colourful Viking ships! The horned helmet and dragons also make an appearance.

House named Valhalla in Cork
Naming
We are not sure why this house in Cork is named after the great hall in Asgard ruled by Odin, but we are sure there is an interesting story behind it! It is fairly common for buildings in areas of Norse settlement to be named after figures from Norse myth and legend.
