Description
Abstract (cited)
Boards, beams, rods, shingles, laths, stakes, firewood and oak bark were produced from Irish woods. Boards were used in buildings ranging from granges and barns to castles. Crucks were used in farmhouses and outbuildings, and rafters in cathedrals. Woodmanship was practised and coppice rods were valued and used in hurdles, house walls, fences, pathways and ploughs. Roof shingles were used from Louth to Waterford. Stakes for fencing were being used in Carlow and Wexford. Boards were traded in ports from Cork to Drogheda, and inland, for example, at Callan, Clonmel, Emly, Newcastle McKynegan and Tipperary. Large boards for shipbuilding were on the market at Drogheda, Waterford and Youghal, and were also available inland at Emly and Newcastle McKynegan. Bundles of fuel were on the market in all the major towns of the colony. Boards were exported to a small number of castles and cathedrals in the south of England.
