Abstract: |
Dendrochronological analysis undertaken on 11 of the 16 samples obtained from timbers within Home Farm Cottage produced a single dated site chronology comprising five samples with an overall length of 192 rings. These rings were dated as spanning the years AD 1126-1317. Interpretation of the sapwood on these five samples, all from what are believed to be timbers from the primary construction, would suggest that the trees represented were cut as part of a single episode of felling at some time in the period AD 1332-57. A second site chronology comprising two samples was also be formed, but this cannot be dated. Two other samples from ground-floor ceiling joists were dated individually. One has an estimated felling date in the range AD 1573-98, the second having an estimated felling date of AD 1618-43. Two samples remain ungrouped and undated. |
