The 17th Century Glasshouse at Shinrone, Co. Offaly, Ireland
Author(s): Jean Farrelly, Caimin O'Brien, Sarah Paynter
An upstanding 17th century wood-fired glass furnace survives at Shinrone, County Offaly, Ireland. Two seasons of excavation have been carried out at the glasshouse by Caimin O’Brien and Jean Farrelly, and samples of glass working waste and products were recovered. Glass working waste recovered as surface finds from the site of another glasshouse, contemporary with Shinrone and situated nearby at Glaster, Lusmagh, were also obtained for comparison. This report summarises the analytical results for the glass working waste from Shinrone and Glaster, together with a brief summary of the historical research and excavations undertaken by Camin O’Brien and Jean Farrelly.
