The Tithe Barn, Elvethall Manor, Hallgarth Street, Durham: Tree-Ring Analysis of Timbers
Author(s): Alison Arnold, Robert Howard
Analysis of samples from the timbers associated with two trusses of the Tithe Barn at Elvethall Manor resulted in the production of a single site chronology comprising eight of the 10 samples obtained. This site chronology is 118 years long and is dated as spanning the years AD 1331–1448. Interpretation of the sapwood indicates that all the dated timbers are likely to have been cut as part of a single phase of felling which took place between the summer of AD 1448 and before the spring of AD 1449.
