Best preserved Viking settlement found in Ireland

Vikings! Mighty conquerors! All subject to royals related to all the other royals in Europe. Of course these royals want their subjects to be viewed as mighty and superior. At least as long as they are content to pay the taxes that keep the royals in place. What about the viking boad reproduction that sunk on demonstration in Dublin Harbor? The "Vikings" didn't found cities. They had no land so they lived in groups. There is something terribly wrong with the Irish psyche. Granted their DNA shows they are the most diverse group in Western Europe, and all intermingled, (even most Scots from the North) but no one group was better than another.

Very interesting, as it is part of the transition from raiders to invaders, to oversimplfy. Indeed, to agree with nosoup, "Where in Louth?" Also, I hate to be picky, but vikings did not use winged or horned helmets. Your illustration looks like an ad for a Wagner opera!

Right on longfella! Maybe they can make it uglier and more out of place than Wood Quay municipal building.

Its at Annagassan (compliments of Google News)

I really like these stories of ancient finds and look forward to more details.

It will be important for the government to move fast to build an office block on it as they did with the last "best preserved viking settlement ever found" at Wood Quay in Dublin.

Where in the hell do you people get your reporters? Where in Louth????????????

Where have you been hiding? Everyone knows viking blood is part of Ireland.

Ah yes the pure blood Irish? !
