TREE-RING ANALYSIS OF TIMBERS FROM WESTWICK COTTAGE, WESTWICK ROW, LEVERSTOCK GREEN, HEMEL HEMPSTEAD, HERTFORDSHIRE

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

Tree-ring samples were obtained from eight oak timbers from Westwick Cottage at Leverstock Green. Analysis of these samples resulted in the production of a single site chronology of 240 years spanning the period AD 940 to AD 1179. Interpretation of the sapwood would suggest a felling date in the range AD 1184 to AD 1219
