| Summary: | A tree-ring dating and radiocarbon wiggle-match programme was undertaken on oak timbers from Higher Uppacott. The results have demonstrated that the only original raised cruck truss from the roof of the longhouse, in the shippon, was constructed from timber felled in either the mid-fourteenth or early fifteenth centuries. The hall roof contains timbers felled at the beginning and end of the sixteenth century. |
