Viking Hall Discovered in Woodstown | Waterford News

They’ve unearthed Ireland’s largest Viking site in Woodstown, near the River Suir—61 structures preserved under dirt, discovered in 2003 when road plans were rerouted. Funded by the Royal Irish Academy, this small dig revealed a massive hall built with Irish wattle and daub, hinting Vikings relied on locals. Artifacts include an Iraqi coin, falconry gear, ship parts, and Christian-Celtic jewelry, proving Vikings were global traders, craftsmen, and explorers—not just raiders. More funding is needed to explore this vast, historically rich site.
