EXTENDED TREE-RING ANALYSIS OF TIMBERS FROM BROCKWORTH COURT BARN, BROCKWORTH, GLOUCESTERSHIRE
Author(s): Robert Howard, R R Laxton, Cliff Litton
Analysis was undertaken of twenty-nine samples from oak timbers at Brockworth Court barn, Brockworth, Gloucestershire. The analysis of these samples resulted in the production of two site chronologies. The first site chronology consists of twenty-one samples of length 185 rings spanning the period AD 1122 - AD 1306. Interpretation of the sapwood on the dated samples indicates that the timbers represented have an estimated felling date in the range AD 1307 - 15. The second site chronology consists of only four samples. This site chronology has 190 rings spanning the period AD 1352 - AD 1541. Only one sample in this site chronology has a heartwood/sapwood boundary. If it is accepted that the timbers represented are of a single phase, it is estimated that the felling took place in the range AD 1556 - 81.
