The Linen and Wool Industries in Britain and Ireland
This chapter reviews the development of the linen and woollen industries in Britain and Ireland from the early eighteenth century to the twentieth century, the classic period of mechanization and mill building. Ulster came to dominate world linen production in the later nineteenth century, while Yorkshire was the centre of world woollen yarn and cloth production by the mid-nineteenth century. The technical development of textile machinery, and th…
Water Power
Water power was the principal source of energy for British and Irish industry for the greater part of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, especially in the textile industries. Even in the nineteenth century steam power in many Irish, Scottish, and Welsh industries was a supplement rather than a replacement for water-powered prime movers. In the early twenty-first century water power remains an important low-carbon power-generation option. Us…

Technological change in the agrarian economy of early medieval Ireland
Colin Rynne∗, Technological change in the agrarian economy of early medieval Ireland: new archaeological evidence for the introduction of the coulter plough, Proceedings of the Royal Irish Academy: Archaeology, Culture, History, Literature, Vol. 118C (2018), pp. 37-66
Technological Continuity, Technological 'Survival
This article discusses the continued use of the early medieval horizontal waterwheel form, well into the post-medieval period in the Atlantic Provinces of the British Isles. It argues that archaeological and documentary evidence demonstrates that the horizontal mills of western Ireland represent the continued use of this technology from the early medieval period in to modern times. Similarly, it argues that the traditional horizontal mills of Sco…
Haulbowline Island, Cork Harbour, Ireland, c.1816–1832
Many aspects of Ireland's landscapes and material culture, dating from the early modern period up to Independence and partition in 1922, continue to be viewed as symbols of a ‘colonial’ past. However, to an overwhelming majority of specialists working directly with the primary source material for Irish history and archaeology the notion, as proposed by nationalist historians and postcolonialists, that the essential relationship between Ireland an…

Crossing Paths or Sharing Tracks?
Brings together over thirty of the leading scholars in Post Medieval archaeology and examines how this relatively new discipline has developed and where it is going. The impetus for this volume lies in the expansion of interest in Post Medieval archaeology in university, commercial, and voluntary sectors. The study of Post Medieval archaeology is a relatively new discipline but, within archaeology as a whole, it represents one of the fastest grow…
Water-Power as a Factor of Industrial Location in Early Medieval Ireland
It has long been known that certain water-powered mill sites, owing to the suitability of their water supply, have continued in use since the later medieval period. But when, exactly, did medieval millwrights begin to make empirical observations on the efficacy of a particular source of hydro-power and, indeed, on the very site of the mill itself? In the present paper, important new archaeological evidence from early medieval Ireland (c. AD 600–1…

The Rolt Memorial Lecture 2007 Technological Change as a 'Colonial' Discourse
This lecture re-examines the considerable contributions made by Irish Quakers to technological development in the UK, during the 19th century, and argues that these were the result of a collaboration of social equals, and not the product of a 'colonial discourse'. In the latter, it is assumed that as the essential relationship between Ireland and Britain was that of 'colony' and 'metropolitan state', in other words one of inequality. However, the…

Working with Water in Medieval Europe
A collaborative study of the uses of water and the technologies employed to use it in medieval Europe. Experts on different areas of water use and of the European continent contribute separate studies to it so as to produce the first comprehensive survey of the techniques people used to harness, and defend themselves from, water in western Christendom between 500 and 1500. Each chapter sets the technologies of fishing, land drainage, irrigation, …
The Introduction of the Vertical Watermill into Ireland
THE IMPORTANCE of the archaeological evidence for the horizontal-wheeled mill in Ireland has tended to obscure and inhibit research into the introduction of its counterpart, the vertical- wheeled mill. The latter is normally associated with the coming of the Cistercians and the Anglo-Normans to Ireland, although no-one has ever attempted to explain why this was so. The validity of these claims is re-examined below in the light of recent archaeolo…
