Abstract:		 Core samples were obtained from four different timbers within 2 The Hollow, Mickleover. Analysis of these four samples has resulted in the production of a single site chronology, comprising two samples, and has dated a third sample individually. The site chronology has a length of 171 rings, these rings dated as spanning 1164-1334. Interpretation of the sapwood on these samples indicates that the trees represented, both used for the principal rafters of the single remaining truss, were felled together in 1334. It is not certain, however, that these timbers represent the remains of an original, or earlier, building here and are perhaps more likely to have been salvaged from some demolished structure and reused in the construction of a new house. The single dated sample, from the main ground-floor ceiling beam of the lounge, has 128 rings, these dated as spanning 1464-1591. Interpretation of the sapwood on this sample indicates that the tree represented was felled between 1597 and 1622. Although there is no absolute certainty that this timber belongs directly with the construction of a new house at this time, the ceiling timbers do seem to be all of a piece, and to be a single-phase unit, and there is no evidence of the frame having been inserted, reused, into an already existing building. It would appear to indicate, therefore, that a new house was built here in the early seventeenth century, incorporating early fourteenth century timbers into its roof frame, and it is probably this house which was given its present appearance in the late-eighteenth or early-nineteenth century.
