Abstract/Summary
Fifteen core timber samples were obtained for tree-ring analysis. Analysis demonstrated that the dated timbers are likely to represent at least 2, and possibly more, separate felling periods. The majority of dated timbers within the original 2-bay structure were most probably felled in AD 1306. It does however appear distinctly possible that a brace and a reused common rafter were felled slightly earlier in the latter decades of the C13. However, the wall plates in bay 2 were felled significantly later in AD 1773. The timbers from both sequences are likely to have been sourced locally.
