Type and Period

DAIRY (Mid 18th century to Modern - 1760 AD (between) to 2050 AD (throughout))

Description

2005. Dendrochronological survey. 6 timbers sampled span a 106 year chronology from AD 1654-1759. Five precise felling dates are produced from the winters of 1748/1749, 1751/1752, 1754/1755 1757/1758 and 1759/1760. Therefore the sapwood evidence from the old dairy suggests that it could not have been built before the winter of AD 1759/1760 and was probably built in 1760. <1> Curtilage listed to Bulford Barns (EHER 29970).
