Tree-Ring Analysis of Timbers from Clothall Bury Barn, Wallingford, near Baldock, Hertfordshire

Author(s): Alison Arnold, Robert Howard, Cliff Litton

A total of sixteen samples was obtained from a wide range of timbers at this barn at Clothall Bury, Hertfordshire. The analysis of these produced a single site chronology consisting of twelve samples having an overall combined length of 115 rings. This site chronology was dated as spanning the years AD 1253 to AD 1367. Interpretation of the sapwood, and the relative positions of the heartwood sapwood boundaries on the dated samples, would suggest that all of them represent timbers with a felling date of AD 1367.
