Abstract: |
Analysis of 45 samples from Carlisle Castle produced two site chronologies. The first, representing 33 timbers, has 479 rings spanning AD 968 - AD 1446. The second contains two samples, with 124 rings spanning AD 900 - AD 1023. Interpretation of the sapwood indicates the earliest material, from the Keep, was probably not felled before c AD 1038; it is possibly reused from the Norman fortification of AD 1092. Other material here has a felling date in the range AD 1135 to AD 1160, possibly relating to construction by King David I of Scotland. The majority of timbers in the roofs of de Ireby's Tower appear likely to have been felled in AD 1380, though possibly a few are felled later and may relate to alterations. |
