Further raids in 795 are reported on the west coast of Ireland at Inishmurray and Inishbofin, followed by the burning of St Patrick's Isle (Holmpatrick) and the destruction of the shrine of Do-Chonna in 798. Rechru has been identified as Rathlin Island off the north coast of County Antrim.
The most likely possibility is that the " longphort " was established on the gravel ridge overlooking the Black Pool the most easily defended location in Dublin and that its remains were subsequently buried or obliterated by the later 10th century settlement of Dyflinn, which was built in the same location ( not to mention Dublin Castle, which presently occupies the site ).The Annals of Ulster record the first Viking raids on Ireland in the year 795, just two years after the well known attack on Lindisfarne on the north-east coast of England, with the burning of “ Rechru by the gentiles”. 
It is also thought that South Great George's Street follows the course of an early medieval route or possibly even the eastern boundary of a " longphort ", assuming that there was a naval encampment along the eastern shore of the Black Pool at some stage in the settlement's early history. In the opinion of a number of historians these burials are indicative of a significant early Viking settlement in this region, some three kilometres west of 羣h Cliath it is even possible that the " longphort " mentioned in the annals as being at Duiblinn or 羣h Cliath was actually further upstream in this area. The other possibility is that the " longphort " was situated on the eastern or southern side of the Black Pool, and that Norse settlement began here, expanding northwards and westwards across the Poddle in the late 9th century. To date, no archaeological remains of any " longphort " or " wintersetl " have been unearthed nevertheless, the possibility that there was no actual encampment in this early period can be discounted. On such raids the Vikings set up impermanent camps, which were called longphorts by the Irish this period of Viking raids on the coasts of Ireland has been named the longphort phase after these types of settlements. The actual location of the longphort of Dublin is still a hotly debated issue. It may be safe to assume that the Vikings first over-wintered in 840 841 CE. In 841 a longphort was constructed at 羣h Cliath ( Irish for " hurdled ford " ), a site which would later develop into the city of Dublin. It's difficult to see longphort in a sentence. The "'River Glyde "'rises in the town of Bailieborough in Louth, site of the recently rediscovered ninth-century Viking longphort Linn Duachaill. Their chieftain sat at O'Farrell's stronghold ( Irish orthography : " Longphort U?Fhearghail " ), located in the present day town of Longford. It was historically associated with the Viking longphort Linn Duachaill, bu the combination of a hillfort with round and rectangular structures suggests a Gaelic Irish origin. It is also a possibility that the location of the " longphort " was changed after the destruction of the original settlement in 849. Radiocarbon analysis suggests that all five died in the 9th century, possibly before the establishment of a Viking " longphort " at Dublin. 
Initially it would have been a Longphort, over time becoming more permanent and was called " Waesfjord ".In 841, Vikings established a longphort ( raiding base ) at Linn Duachaill, Annagassan.This longphort would eventually become Dublin.The Vikings set up a base, which the Irish called a longphort.They also established a longphort at Annagassan in the ninth century.
