Description:In 2003, archaeologists investigating the proposed route of the Waterford City Bypass on behalf of Ireland's National Roads Authority discovered the remains of a 9th century Viking settlement on the southern bank of the River Suir at Woodstown, County Waterford. The discovery has been hailed as one of the most significant made by Irish archaeologists in modern times. This book is the definitive report on the archaeological excavations undertaken at Woodstown, as it draws together all the existing evidence from the site and places it in its national and international context.
