Dove Cottage, Town End, Grasmere, Cumbria: Tree-Ring Analysis of Timbers
Author(s): Alison Arnold, Robert Howard
A total of 17 samples was obtained from a series of different timbers within Dove Cottage, Grasmere. Seven samples were found to contain less than the minimum of 50 rings deemed necessary for reliable dating, and these were excluded from further analysis. The 10 remaining samples which were measured did not match each other, and did not date independently. The timbers, therefore, remain undated and hence provide no independent dating evidence for the chronological development of the cottage.
