Abstract: |
Dendrochronological analysis was undertaken on a number of timbers at this building resulting in the dating of two site sequences. Site sequence OCKASQ01 contains eight samples and spans the period 1491-1631. Seven of these samples are from structural timbers and a roof timber of Building A. One of these is now known to have been felled in 1622, with it thought likely that the other six timbers were also felled at this time. The eighth sample in this site sequence is from Building B and has a terminus post quem felling of 1646. Site sequence OCKASQ02 contains seven samples, all from the roof of Building B, and spans the period 1560-1672. One of these samples was felled in 1672 with the heartwood/sapwood boundary rings of the other six samples making it likely that they were also felled in 1672. The tree-ring dating suggests construction of Building A occurred in or soon after the felling of its timbers in 1622, some 50 years prior to Building B being erected, in or soon after the felling of its timbers in 1672. A sample taken from a first-floor ceiling beam in Building C is undated. |
