| Abstract: |
Dendrochronological analysis was undertaken on 17 of the 19 core samples obtained from the main range and short, south wing of Dronfield Hall barn. This analysis produced a single dated site chronology comprising 13 samples, all of them from the main range. This site chronology has an overall length of 89 rings dated as spanning the years AD 1341-1429. Interpretation of the sapwood on the dated samples would suggest the likelihood that all the timbers used for the construction of the main range were cut as part of a single episode of felling in, or very shortly after, AD 1429. One further measured sample from the lintel to the south door of the main range, plus three measured samples from the south wing, remain ungrouped and undated. |
