Summary:"This is the second of a three-volume series on Dublin Castle and the archaeological excavations carried out there between 1961 and 1987. Volume 2 focuses on the Viking-age archaeology that pre-dates the foundation of the Anglo-Norman castle. Significant evidence for Viking-age habitation, including post-and-wattle houses, was uncovered as part of the first archaeological excavation to be carried out in Dublin, at the Cross Block in 1961-2. Further evidence of habitation was excavated at the areas of the Cork Tower and Powder Tower in 1985-7, with elements of the eastern defences of the Viking-age town recorded within the footprint of the latter tower."
