Abstract: |
Dendrochronological analysis was undertaken on eighteen oak timbers from Waxham Great Barn. The barn, 55m (180ft) in length, is the longest historic barn in Norfolk, and doorways excepted, the trusses alternate between queen-strut and hammer beam. Sixteen samples were successfully cross-matched to produce a single site chronology WAXHAMBN of 147 rings, spanning the period AD 1437 - AD 1583. The analysis indicates that construction of Waxham Great Barn occurred shortly after felling in the winter of AD 1583/4. |
