Moot Hall, Boroughgate, Appleby-in-Westmorland, Cumbria: Tree-ring analysis of oak timbers
Author(s): Alison Arnold, Robert Howard, Cathy Tyers
Analysis undertaken on samples from roof and ceiling timbers of Moot Hall resulted in the construction of a single site sequence. Site sequence APBYSQ01 contains 16 samples from the roof and spans the period AD 1400–1569. The dendrochronological interpretation suggests that all of these timbers from the raised roof over the primary phase of construction are likely to have been felled in AD 1571–96. A ground-floor ceiling beam was individually dated as having been felled in AD 1660.
