'Save Wood Quay' placards in Dublinia
Exhibition
Replicas of placards used during the demonstrations against the development of the Wood Quay site in Dublin in the 1970s. Dublin City Council's Civic Offices were built on the site of Viking Dublin, after some of the most important excavations of a Viking-Age settlement had revealed the wealth of artefacts in the area and preservation of the original layout of the city. The protests did not succeed in stopping the development, but they did raise awareness of the public appetite for preserving national heritage.
This photo was taken by the Languages, Myths and Finds group during a visit to Dublinia.

Fishamble Street, Dublin
Place names
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.

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'.
