“…Population growth in Ireland in the eighteenth and first half of the nineteenth centuries produced an impoverished underclass housed in single-room "cabins" that were badly constructed of available materials (Evans 1969;Gailey 1976). Glasscock (1987) acknowledged that these buildings were the reflection of poverty of that period, but suggested that the poor of thirteenth-century Ireland had lived in similar small houses. He was careful to avoid the suggestion that any of the standing cabins were actually built in the medieval period, but nevertheless argued that "The tradition of the single-room house was an ancient one and [it seems probable] that houses of this type were built in the medieval period" (Glasscock 1987, p. 230).…”

This study examines how the archaeology of historic Ireland has been interpreted. Two approaches to the history and archaeology of Ireland are identified. The first, the timeless past, has its roots in a neo-Lamarckian view of the past. This perspective was particularly developed in the work of geographer and ethnographer, Estyn Evans. The second view, associated in particular with a nationalist approach to Ireland's past, looked to the west of the country where it was believed the culture had been preserved largely unchanged and in its purest form. The continuing impact of these frameworks upon the interpretation of rural settlement in the period 1200-1700 is examined. It is argued that historians and archaeologists alike have underestimated the quality of buildings.

Estimates are assembled for England, Wales, Scotland, and Ireland, and for Britain and Ireland as a whole, of the numbers of religious houses, regular clergy, parishes, towns of more than 2,000 inhabitants, and townspeople, and the value of dutiable exports and volume of currency at the watershed date of c.1290. Absolute and relative levels of economic development are then compared. A range of possible population estimates are considered and corresponding set of per capita estimates thereby derived. The results highlight significant differences in the pattern of economic development between and within these four countries.
