And just around the corner there is <i>The Longstone</i> pub, which is near to where the Viking longstone stood in Pearse Street. The original one was erected on the shore by the Vikings where they landed, but this disappeared in the 1800s. There is now a copy in its place (outside the main Garda headquarters).

Although the stone marks the spot where the Vikings first landed it is now a mile inland due to reclaimation.
