TREE-RING ANALYSIS OF TWO TIMBER WELLS FROM GREYFRIAR'S ROAD, IPSWICH, SUFFOLK.
Author(s): J Hillam
Oak timbers from two wells were examined and dated by dendrochronology. The first well, context 0630, was lined with timbers from a hollowed-out oak tree, the ring sequence of which spanned the period AD585-688. The second, context 0697, was lined with reused barrel staves. The rings from these timbers spanned the period 539-744, and a high correlation with German chronologies indicated that the timbers were probably imported from Germany.
