Abstract:		 Sampling and analysis by tree-ring dating were commissioned by English Heritage in order to complement the Archaeological Interpretative survey and to provide additional information ahead of a major programme of timberwork repairs and re-thatching. Analysis was undertaken of samples from thirty-eight oak timbers from four phases at this site, resulting in the production of one dated site chronology and one undated site sequence. The dated site chronology has 112 rings, and spans the period AD 1386 to AD 1497. Interpretation of the sapwood on the samples suggests that there is only a very short time gap, if any at all, between the felling of any of the timber represented. It is estimated that the felling of timber for phases B1 and B2 took place some time in the range AD 1505--25. A second, undated, sequence was also created from eight samples of another distinct segment of the building labelled E1. This undated sequence has eighty-four rings. The objectives are thus met in part. Phases B1 and B2 are shown to be of a very similar date whilst the construction phase C1 appears to be represented by reused timber and thus the phase itself is not dated. Phase E1 is not dated either but it would appear to be different from that of B1 and B2.
