TREE-RING ANALYSIS OF WELL TIMBERS FROM SLOUGH HOUSE FARM, GREAT TOTHAM PARISH, ESSEX.

Author(s): J Hillam

Tree-ring analysis of forty oak timbers from two wells at Slough House Farm near Maldon indicated that the timber shafts were Saxon in date rather than Roman as originally thought. Precise felling dates were obtained for the two shafts, and a tree-ring chronology covering the period AD406-602 was produced. The implications of the results are discussed with reference both to Slough House Farm and to Saxon timbers in general.
