Abstract: |
Thirty-three samples were taken from five main and two intermediate phases at the old farmhouse at Cullacott (SX 303 880). All but one of the samples extracted had complete sapwood and contained between 26 and 115 rings. Despite this, positive dates could only be obtained for three samples from the first phase, that being the Hall and Lower End. This phase produced three felling dates which were the spring of AD 1472, the spring of AD 1478, and the summer or autumn of AD 1481. Nevertheless, the dendrochronology has confirmed that the parlour and the north-east wing are coeval, the west porch was ceiled over upstairs originally, and that the Hall was ceiled over 35 years before the south-east porch was constructed. Although no firm dates could be found for the later phases, it is possible that they may date against future sites in the south-west, and as such the data contain great potential. |
