Human remains found in Dublin could be Vikings

Archaeological experts believe human remains of at least four people found during digging for a new Luas line in Dublin could date back to the Vikings.

Last month, during Luas cross city works on College Green, the remains of one person were found 1.5m below the ground just north of the gates of Trinity College.

Rubicon Heritage Services, the monitoring archaeologists on the project, said that individual was “situated below the known level of post-medieval activity suggesting the remains are most likely medieval or earlier in date”.
