98a Watling Street East, Towcester, Northamptonshire: Tree-ring Dating of Oak Timbers
Author(s): Dr Martin Bridge, Cathy Tyers
Twelve samples were taken from various elements in the two roofs and the basement. Two samples had too few rings for further analysis to be carried out, but eight of the remaining samples were dated. These show the two roofs and basement to be broadly coeval, using timbers most likely felled in the AD 1680s and early AD 1690s, with one timber having a precise felling date of winter AD 1689/90.
