Hemsby Hall Farm Barn, Hall Lane, Hemsby, Norfolk: Tree-Ring Analysis of Timbers
Author(s): Robert Howard, Alison Arnold
Dendrochronological analysis was undertaken on 23 of the 24 samples obtained from different timbers in the barn at Hall Farm, Hemsby. This analysis produced a single dated site chronology comprising 12 samples with an overall length of 126 rings. These rings were dated as spanning the years AD 1158–1283. Interpretation of the sapwood on the dated samples indicates the timbers represented were all probably cut as part of a single episode of felling in AD 1283 for the construction of the barn. The remaining 12 samples are all ungrouped and undated.
