• An English chronology 434 BC - AD 315 mentioned by English Heritage: Dendrochronology: Guidelines on producing and interpreting dendrochronological dates (2004) (but by almost no others).

Alchester

• "There is a key dendrochronological date from a gatepost timber at Alchester which demonstrates that this structure was probably built in AD 44 (Sauer 2001, 72) and thus provides not only the earliest secure independent dating for a military feature anywhere in Roman Britain but also a key starting point for understanding the Roman conquest of the region and the early development of the complex sequence at Alchester itself." http://www.buckscc.gov.uk/assets/content/bcc/docs/archaeology/A_ST_Oxford_5_solent_thames_roman_oxon_jan_08.pdf p.4

General

• Ian Tyers, Jennifer Hillam, and Cathy Groves: Trees and woodland in the Saxon period: the dendrochronological evidence (schema on overlapping between sites in England and Ireland)

Problems

• No Irish oaks found during 95-13 BC!: Baillie 1995 p. 56
• No English oaks AD 316-403! For the historic period there is now a continuous sequence that runs from the present back to AD 404, and another from Roman contexts covering 434 BC – AD 315. The latter is still reliant on cross-links with Ireland and Germany for its dating since no English tree-ring sequence has been found that spans the fourth century AD.
