Abstract:		 Analysis by dendrochronology of 39 out of 44 samples obtained from this site has produced two dated site chronologies and dated one sample individually. The first site chronology, POLCSQ01, comprises 21 samples, all from the roof, walls, and floor-frame of the eastern part of the building (the Gatehouse proper), as well as from the floor of the mezzanine room here. This site chronology has 248 rings, dated as spanning AD 1095-1342. The second site chronology, POLCSQ02, comprises 11 samples, all from the roof of the west part of the building (the 'annex') and its southern arm. This site chronology has 137 rings, dated as spanning AD 1446-1582. A single sample from the annex roof was dated individually as spanning AD 1361-1487. Analysis by tree-ring dating has demonstrated that two distinct periods of felling are represented. All the structural timbers of the Gatehouse proper, and the majority of timbers from the mezzanine floor here, were probably felled in the latter half of the AD 1330s and the early AD 1340s. The roof timbers of the annex roof, and its south arm, were probably all felled in AD 1582.
