Abstract: |
Dendrochronological analysis undertaken on samples from within this complex building resulted in the construction of two site sequences, only one of which could be dated. Site sequence GROBSQ01 contains 45 samples and spans the period AD 1321-1516. Two further samples were individually dated to AD 1400-62 and AD 1577-1668. The dated samples are from a number of ranges or areas and include some apparently reused timbers. All but one of the dated timbers appear to have been felled during the latter half of the fifteenth century and the first half of the sixteenth century. The exception to this is a door lintel from tower 2 which dates to the final quarter of the seventeenth century or the very early eighteenth century. |
