TREE-RING ANALYSIS OF TIMBERS FROM HEADSTONE MANOR TYTHE BARN, PINNER VIEW, HARROW, LONDON

Author(s): Robert Howard, R R Laxton, Cliff Litton

Sixteen samples from the principal timber members of this barn were analysed by tree-ring dating. This analysis produced a single site chronology of thirteen samples, the 132 rings it contains spanning the period AD 1374 - AD 1505. Interpretation of the sapwood, and the relative positions of the heartwood/sapwood boundaries on the dated samples, suggests that the entire barn is of a single phase of construction using timber felled late in AD 1505.
