High Beeches and The Hollies, Thurstonfield, Burgh-By-Sands, Cumbria : Tree-Ring Analysis of Timbers from the Barn
Author(s): Alison Arnold, Robert Howard, Cliff Litton
The timbers within this cruck barn at Thurstonfield, Cumbria, possibly represent three separate phases of construction, each potentially of a different date. From these timbers a total of 16 core samples was obtained. Of this number 12 were measured whilst four samples were rejected as having too few rings for reliable analysis. From the data of the measured samples, a single site chronology, BBSDSQ01, comprising two samples, could be created, having an overall length of 140 rings. Despite being compared to an extensive collection of reference chronologies neither site chronology BBSDSQ01, nor the 10 remaining measured but ungrouped samples, could be dated.
