Abstract: |
Dendrochronological analysis was undertaken on 17 core samples obtained from both the primary and reused timbers associated with the initial construction of the north-south barn range of Lowfield Hall. This analysis produced a single dated site chronology comprising nine samples, with an overall length of 114 rings. These rings were dated as spanning the years AD 1484-1597. Interpretation of the sapwood on the dated samples, which are all from the primary timbers, suggests that the trees used for these beams were cut as part of a single episode of felling at some point in the period AD 1604-29. Another two samples from the primary timbers remain ungrouped and undated, as do all six samples from the reused timbers. |
