Abstract: |
Analysis by dendrochronology of 15 samples obtained from the remnant timbers of Red Gables Cottage (part of a complex of three buildings to this site) has resulted in the production of a single dated site chronology comprising seven samples. All these dated samples are from the frame of the ground floor ceiling to the room extending westwards of the main timber-framed structure of Red Gables Cottage. Interpretation of the sapwood on these seven dated samples would indicate that the timbers (main beams and common joists) were all cut as part of a single programme of felling in 1590 specifically for the construction of this floor. The remaining eight samples, all of them from various beams of the timber-framed building, are ungrouped and undated. Thus, although the present building was constructed by one Thomas Boyne in 1623, it would appear possible that an earlier building, dating to 1590, may have already existed on the site. |
