Wood Barn, Fairfield House, Stogursey, Somerset: Tree-Ring Analysis of Timbers

Author(s): Robert Howard, Alison Arnold

Analysis undertaken on samples from Wood Barn resulted in the construction of a single site sequence. This site sequence, FRFBSQ01, contains 18 samples and spans the period AD 1561–1771. Interpretation of the sapwood suggests construction of the main barn and associated pentice occurred soon after the felling of the timbers utilised in AD 1726; a single bay extension to the south with associated pentice, thought to be slightly later, contains timber felled in AD 1768 and AD 1771.
