A really fun day at the Aonach na nDéise at the Woodstown Viking Site on the Waterford Greenway!

Junior archaeological apprentices helped with recording a Viking warrior burial, Dr Brendan O'Neill of UCD School of Archaeology demonstrated the carving of a soapstone vessel like those found during the recent excavation, Dr Susan Curran of Discovery Programme and I were there to talk about the latest research, along with lots of Viking battles (including the Kiddie Battle!), games, and more!

It was so wonderful to see how the event grows each year, and to get to chat with all the visitors.

On the way home after a brilliant week at the Viking Congress in Oslo.

So inspiring to hear of all the exciting new research, and wonderful to meet everyone!

We were also grateful for the opportunity to share the latest news about Woodstown with our poster featuring our recent The Royal Irish Academy & Waterford City and County Council supported excavation, pictured here with excavation co-directors Dr Susan Curran (Discovery Programme) & Dr Håkon Reiersen (Arkeologisk museum, Universitetet i Stavanger).

If you'd like to hear more about the dig come and join us TOMORROW for the Déise Medieval Aonach na nDéise at Woodstown — it's a brilliant, free day out for the whole family, with a reenactments, crafts and games. We'll also be there to discuss the latest discoveries.
