Southwood Hall, South Field Court, Cottingham, East Riding of Yorkshire: Tree-ring analysis of timbers

Author(s): Alison Arnold, Robert Howard, Cathy Tyers

Analysis of samples taken from the roof, the stairwell, and an ex-situ lintel from Southwood Hall, Cottingham, resulted in the construction of a single site sequence. Site sequence BEVISQ01 contains 14 samples and spans the period AD 1514–1662. Interpretation of the sapwood suggests felling of the roof and stairwell timbers occurred in the summer of AD 1662 or early AD 1663 whilst the lintel has a terminus post quem felling date of AD 1610 and so could also be coeval.
