DENDROCHRONOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF IGHTFIELD HALL FARM BARN, IGHTFIELD, WHITCHURCH, SHROPSHIRE, 1997
Author(s): C Groves
Ightfield Hall Farm barn is a grade II listed timber-framed barn associated with a larger farmstead. Dendrochronological analysis of timbers associated with the initial construction produced a tree-ring chronology spanning the period AD 1341-1566. The primary timbers were felled in the spring of AD 1567, whilst two groups of reused timbers were identified with felling date ranges in the mid-fifteenth century and first half of the sixteenth century. A number of interesting growth characteristics were noted and are discussed along with evidence concerning the source of the timbers. No dating evidence was provided for the inserted floor.
