Warren Farm, Charterhouse, Priddy, Somerset: Tree-Ring Analysis of Timbers
Author(s): Alison Arnold, Robert Howard
Ten samples were taken from the timbers of the roof at this building. Subsequent analysis resulted in the production and dating of a single site sequence. Site sequence WRNFSQ04 contains six samples and spans the period AD 1303–1500. Two samples were found to have overlapping felling date ranges of AD 1481–1506 and AD 1499–1524 with the remaining four dated samples having earliest possible felling dates ranging from the late-fourteenth to the early-sixteenth centuries. These results suggest that several different felling phases are represented by the timbers of this roof.
