ENGLISH HERITAGE

DENDROCHRONOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF TIMBERS

FROM SHEPHERDS COTTAGE,

NR. BORDON, HAMPSHIRE.

SUMMARY

A 181-year site mean called SHEPHERD was created from seven oak sequences sampled from Shepherds Cottage, Nr. Bordon, Hampshire. The site mean sequence was found to cross-date with the first ring of the sequence at AD 1423 and the final ring at AD 1603. Too limited a variety of structural timbers were dated to propose a construction date for the cottage as a whole and only three spot dates are presented. However, two precise felling dates, derived from timbers in close association, provide tentative dating of the replacement of the first floor joists. A lower original set of joists were lain with the greater dimension horizontal, the joints evident in the transverse beam which was dated as felled spring/summer AD 1583. Two higher level joists, squarer in section, were most likely both felled spring/summer AD 1603.
