>Drawing of the last surviving cage-work house in Dublin on the corner of Castle Street and Werburgh Street, demolished around 1812. This building was probably post-medieval in date, but typical of many houses in the medieval city. The illustration is believed to be a good representative image of the building, and was published in the Dublin Penny Journal in 1813. A further illustration based on this was published in the Irish Builder in 1870.
There were important anglo-norman towns like Fethard that became backwaters by the Georgian period that you’d assume some timber work houses would survive in, but nope, nothing….

I think there’s still some hybrid timber/brick houses on thomas street, but they look like normal Georgian brick facades on the outside.
The journal.ie did a vid on the interior a few years ago https://youtu.be/dGiUyu_te9k
