Abstract:		 An overview of the frequency, treatment and value of Irish textile evidence, the most abundant single occurrence of which has been Wood Quay, Dublin, which produced over 2,000 samples. Pieces are conserved to balance their pH and prevent further decay and analysed for the condition, weave, fibre, colour yarn spin, degree of spin, yarn diameter, density of threads per centimetre and cloth thickness. Comparative analysis with contemporary British and European examples as well as other indigenous material is also undertaken. Interesting recent examples include a shaggy pile cloth from Drogheda, treated with the very expensive dye kermes, and a seventeenth century piece of poplin and fourteenth century doublet lace both from Dublin Castle.
