The UCC Archaeology Department Research Seminar - 'New Developments
on Post-Medieval Munster AD 1550-1750' - The Fortified House: A Review |
Joe Nunan (Blackwater Archaeology)
This paper aims to identify the developments that have taken place over the past 60 years in the understanding of a specific
late medieval building type unique to Ireland, referred to as the ‘fortified house’. A number
of these structures have been subject to archaeological and building surveys including those located in the following regions:
Munster, the Midlands, Ulster, Dublin county and Connacht. Most of the research regarding such structures
has emanated from a handful of academics, geographers and archaeologists. The archaeological and building surveys undertaken
to date provide a good introduction to this architectural form. Full pdf below - Click image
