This Conservation Management Plan suggests some ways in which that potential can be fulfilled.
The Woodstown Conservation Management Plan is informed by consultation and best practice and the previous work, reports and guidance of the Woodstown Viking Site Steering Committee. The plan details the significance of Woodstown, and it offers a research strategy that will form a pathway to a better understanding of the site and its context. The plan offers interpretative and communications strategies that will ensure that the story is engaging and accessible to a variety of audiences, and it will identify potential funding sources that could help to achieve the strategies outlined in the plan. It also considers biodiversity and natural heritage, and assesses practical considerations such as land ownership, boundaries, protection of the archaeological remains and public access.
One of the key challenges that Woodstown poses is that despite it being an incredibly important monument it is almost entirely invisible above the surface of the ground. The plan is designed to not only better protect and understand the monument, but to make the intangible, tangible. To help people to gain new insights into what Woodstown can tell us about life in a Viking settlement. The strategy considers audience and accessibility, and it has a strongly participatory focus. Combined with living history with groups like the wonderful Déise Medieval, Viking Woodstown would become a world-leading centre for experiencing the story of the Vikings. Such an attraction would complement the Waterford Museum of Treasures and King of the Vikings in Waterford City.
