Abstract: |
Tree-ring analysis of nine samples from this barn indicates the use of timbers with different felling dates. The lower north blade of truss D is made of timber felled in 1527 and is probably reused here. The upper and lower sections of truss A (both showing evidence for reuse), and the south spur tie of truss D are made of timber felled in the period 1588 - 1607. The upper north and south sections of truss C are each made of timber felled in 1735 which, given that there is no evidence for reuse on these, may represent the construction date of the barn. It is estimated that the south backing rafter of truss D was felled in the period 1760 - 65, but is reused here. Two timbers, the upper north and south blades of truss B, both remain undated. It would appear likely, therefore, that Eden Farm barn began life in the second quarter of the eighteenth century using some timber felled specifically for its construction and other timber which had been felled earlier. |
