TREE-RING ANALYSIS OF OAK TIMBERS FROM THE ABBEY FARM BARN AND COTTAGE, THETFORD, NORFOLK - REVISITED

Author(s): C Groves

This report summaries the reanalysis of a series of fifteen samples from the Abbey Farm barn and cottage originally studied in AD 1992. The reanalysis was undertaken following the completion of an extensive dendrochronological study commissioned by English Heritage in AD 1999. In addition to the three samples successfully dated previously from the eastern half of the barn, a further six samples, one from the western half of the barn and five from the cottage, were dated. These are clearly contemporaneous with the fifteenth-century felling phases identified for the western half of the barn and the cottage during the more extensive study.
