Wood Quay is a riverside area of Dublin that is one of the most important sites of Viking settlement in the city. Dublin Corporation acquired Wood Quay bit by bit between 1950 and 1975 announcing that it would be the location of their new offices. Finds made during the initial excavation of the site led to a massive, but unsuccessful, public campaign to halt the development. Finds from Wood Quay are now on display in the National Museum, Ireland.
