Abstract: |
Dendrochronological analysis was undertaken on 23 of the 25 core samples obtained from timbers of the main range roof at Little Toller Farmhouse. This analysis produced a single dated site chronology comprising 15 samples with an overall length of 161 rings. These rings were dated as spanning the years AD 1379-1539. Interpretation of the sapwood on the dated samples, which represent timbers from the entire length of the roof, suggests that they represent a single phase of construction, the timbers probably being cut in a single episode of felling at some point in the mid-AD 1550s. The eight measured but ungrouped samples remain undated. |
