Abstract/Summary
‘Dendrochronological analysis was undertaken on six of the seven samples obtained from a series of lintels and wall timbers to the ruins of the former Manor House at Witchampton. This analysis produced a single site chronology comprising three samples and having an overall length of 123 rings. These rings were dated as spanning the years AD 1432–1554. Interpretation of the sapwood on these samples would suggest that the timbers represented were felled in the period AD 1569–94. Three further measured samples remain ungrouped and undated.’
