King John’s Hunting Lodge, Lacock, Wiltshire: Tree-Ring Analysis of Timbers
Author(s): Dr Martin Bridge, Matt Hurford, Cathy Tyers
Dendrochronological analysis was undertaken on 11 samples taken from the extant remains of the medieval open-hall core of King John’s Hunting Lodge. This resulted in the production of a single site chronology, LCKJSQ01 which comprises nine samples with an overall length of 171 rings dating to the years AD 1148–1318. The results identified that the dated timbers used in the construction of the open-hall probably represent a single programme of felling in the AD 1320s.
