Abstract
AbstractIn spite of a lack of information on roof-timbering techniques, with regard to both structural and distributional details, in east Ulster as compared with west Ulster, the time has come to attempt a classification, however provisional, of the major types so far recognized in Ulster. If it is to have real value, the classification should be related as far as possible to the typologies of British roof types recently put forward by R. A. Cordingleyl and J. T. Smith for two reasons: firstly, because of the affinities between north-Irish methods of roof construction and those of west Britain, and secondly, in order, in Cordingley's own words, ‘to codify current usage of terms and so provide a commonly understood language for the purpose of technical description or discussion’.
