Abstract: |
Samples were taken from the dismantled bellframe and supporting beams, and from insitu tower timbers. All 12 bellframe samples grouped and were combined to form THUBSQ01, a site sequence of 194 rings. This was found to span the period AD 1599-1792, with the timbers represented all probably being felled in AD 1792. Only one of the supporting beams could be dated, to a felling of AD 1455. Little can be deduced from a single sample as it is unclear whether it is reused, primary, or inserted. Three of the lower in-situ timbers, all corbels, grouped to form a site sequence, THUBSQ03, which has a last-measured ring date of AD 1547. These samples have termini post quos of AD 1540, AD 1555, and AD 1562. Two further site sequences are undated. |
