Weaving in Ireland

popesclaw · 2015-06-15 15:05:18

anyone got any leads on the earliest evidence for loom-weaving in Ireland? I know some people have associated loom-weight type objects with Grooved Ware era stuff but they're hardly mentioned in literature.

I'm not sure if you've read the attached article before, but it does mention what was believed to have been a loom weight find which was recovered from the Grooved Ware period circle at Knowth: http://irisharchaeology.ie/2011/05/mystery-artefact-sheds-new-light-on-irish-bronze-age-weaving/

There's also a nice image of a reconstructed Bronze age 'Warp-weighted' loom in this article too.
