Wood Quay is a riverside area of Dublin that was one of the most important sites of Viking settlement in the city. Dublin Corporation acquired Wood Quay gradually between 1950 and 1975, finally 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 ultimately unsuccessful, public campaign to halt the development. Finds from Wood Quay are now on display in the National Museum of Ireland.
The site is now entirely occupied by Dublin Corporation's headquarters.
