Abstract: |
Dendrochronological analysis was undertaken on samples from 98 timbers, of which 32 have been successfully dated. Those associated with the south range indicate a major phase of construction shortly after felling in the late-fifteenth or early sixteenth century, whilst those from the north range indicate phases of modification/repair in the early seventeenth century and the late-eighteenth century. A single timber from the north range may be associated with an earlier phase of building activity in the mid-fifteenth century. The successful dating of relatively few of the sampled timbers emphasises the continued difficulties encountered during dendrochronological analysis in parts of Devon. |
