DENDROCHRONOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF OAK TIMBERS FROM THE TITHE BARN, SIDDINGTON, NEAR CIRENCESTER, GLOUCESTERSHIRE, 1990-91
Author(s): C Groves, J Hillam
Dendrochronological analysis of oak samples from the Tithe Barn at Siddington, near Cirencester, produced two dated site master chronologies spanning AD1122-1238 and AD1307-1398. Tree-ring dates were obtained for timbers from the main barn and the south porch which indicate a felling period in AD1245-47 and hence a construction date in the mid-thirteenth century for the barn. A later felling period was also identified indicating that alternations were carried out on the north and south porches during the fifteenth century.
