Abstract: |
Analysis by dendrochronology of 11 out of 12 samples obtained from two areas of this building has produced two dated site chronologies and dated a further single sample individually. The first site chronology comprises four samples, its 145 rings dated as spanning the years 1387-1531. It is likely that the timbers represented by these samples were felled in the period 1546-71. The second site chronology comprises two samples, its 88 rings dated as spanning the years 1481-1568. It is unlikely that the timbers represented by these samples were felled before 1583. The rings of the single dated sample span 1527-80 and it is likely that the timber represented was felled in the period 1590-1615. It seems likely, therefore, that the latest phase of work found by this programme of tree-ring analysis uses timber felled in the very early-seventeenth century, a period of work when older timber, originally felled, say, c 1560, and re-claimed or savaged from other sites, was re-used. |
