Coolham Barn was originally located at Coolham, West Sussex (TQ113229), and transported to its present site at Frosbury Farmhouse, Worplesdon, Surrey (SU969519) in 1980. Ten oak building timbers from the first build phase were sampled for dendrochronological analysis. All the timbers were dated from the site forming a 134-year site mean chronology (COOLHAM) spanning AD 1426 - AD 1549. Three samples retained complete sapwood producing a precise felling date of spring or summer AD 1549. The precise felling date could be applied directly to four additional samples through same-tree association. Based on the consistency of the felling dates, construction of Coolham Barn is most likely to have commenced in the spring or summer of AD 1549.
