Michael Arklow

Arklow (An tInbhear Mór in Irish) is a historic town in County Wicklow on the east coast of Ireland. Founded by the Vikings, and the location of one of the bloodiest battles of the 1798 rebellion, it is now a thriving commuter town with a population of 9,900. The town's English name derives from "Arknell's Low" (Arknell was a Viking leader, a low was an area of land). Its Irish name means "the great estuary". Artifacts from the Viking Period are on display in the National Museum of Ireland in Dublin. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arklow
