TREE-RING ANALYSIS OF TIMBERS FROM A BARN AT WESTENHANGER MANOR, STONE STREET, STANFORD, NEAR FOLKESTONE, KENT
Author(s): Robert Howard, R R Laxton, Cliff Litton
Twenty samples from the timbers of the north-south barn range at Westenhanger Manor were analysed by tree-ring dating. This analysis produced a single site chronology of 146 rings spanning the period AD 1433 - AD 1578. Interpretation of the sapwood on the samples suggests that all the timbers represented, and probably all those used in the original construction of the barn, were felled sometime between AD 1579 - 96.
