Farrelly, J., O'Brien, C., Paynter, S. et al. (5 more authors) (2014) Excavation of an early 17th-century glassmaking site at Glasshouse, Shinrone, Co. Offaly, Ireland. Post-Medieval Archaeology, 48 (1). pp. 45-89. ISSN 0079-4236
Abstract
An archaeological research excavation was conducted in the area immediately surrounding an upstanding glassmaking furnace near Shinrone, Co. Offaly, Ireland. It dates to the early to mid 17th century and was built and operated by French Huguenots, probably de Hennezells (de Hennezel/Henzeys/Hensie) who had settled in this region as part of the Crown plantation of King’s County (now Co. Offaly). This furnace, which employed wood rather than coal as a fuel, is a very rare survival, with no other upstanding examples known in Ireland, Britain or the Lorraine region of France where the form probably originated.
