Abstract: |
A number of tree-ring dates had been obtained from Harmondsworth Barn during a major repair following a fire in the 1980s. In 2012 the barn came into English Heritage guardianship following a period of neglect. An extended tree-ring dating programme was commissioned on oak timbers from the barn to inform future management and interpretation. The results identified that oak timbers from the barn, its modified doorways, and its weatherboarding were datable by tree-ring dating techniques. The results showed that all dated timbers were derived from early fifteenth century timbers with at least some material felled in the period AD 1423-6. Fragmentation of the samples and the poor condition of the sapwood prevents detailed identification of the buildings' sequence and the timescale of its construction. This report archives all the dendrochronological results. |
