Abstract: |
Dendrochronological analysis was undertaken of eighty-eight samples taken from oak timbers in eight different parts of Chicksands Priory. Two site chronologies were formed from this material, both of which were dated. The first site chronology consisted of thirty-one samples and was 342 rings long. It was dated as spanning the period AD 1200--1541. The second site chronology consisted of twenty-seven samples and was 145 rings long. It was dated as spanning the period AD 1670--1814. An additional seventeen samples were also dated through further analysis. By examining the dated samples and their sapwood it is possible to calculate the felling dates or felling date range from all eight parts of the Priory sampled. |
