TREE-RING ANALYSIS OF TIMBERS FROM THE GATEHOUSE, MARKENFIELD HALL, NEAR RIPON, NORTH YORKSHIRE
Author(s): Robert Howard, R R Laxton, Cliff Litton
Eight samples were obtained from the roof timbers of the gatehouse of Markenfield Hall. Analysis of these samples produced a single site chronology of 202 rings spanning the period AD 1388 - AD 1589. Interpretation of the results suggests that all the timbers used were cut in a single felling operation dated to some time between AD 1604 and AD 1629.
