A new Viking site has been discovered on the banks of the
Barrow. This site is close to the the village of Vicarstown in Co
Laois. The site borders 3 kingdoms Laois Offaly and Kildare.
The site was fortified and probably supported about 1000 warriors.
This was almost as big as the Viking settlement at Dublin. The
Vikings used draw up the longboats on the bank inside the fort
which was D-shaped. An inner citadel was heavily fortified.
The site was destroyed about 960 by the men of Ossory. The
Vikings must have done something really bad to encur the wrath of
the Ossory Men. Probably cheated at Hurling.

Ossory Men gave them a licking./g
