Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	A total of eight core samples was obtained from the north range roof trusses at Cannington Court, Cannington. Upon return to the Laboratory it was confirmed, as had been intimated by the site inspection, that six of the sampled timbers were of elm, while only two of them were of oak. The elm timbers are from the principal timbers of the main roof trusses, while the oak timbers are from two wall plates to the northern dormer range extension off the north range. At present only oak timbers can be reliable dated by dendrochronology, elm being less suitable to the process. Thus only the two oak samples were analysed, this producing a single site chronology, CANBSQ01, with an overall length of 79 rings. These rings are dated as spanning the years 1596 - 1674. Interpretation of the sapwood on these two samples, allowing for some missing ring would suggest that, in round terms, the timbers are likely to have been felled between, say, 1690-95. Although undated by conventional tree-ring analysis, it is possible that the core samples from the elm timbers could be submitted for radiocarbon 'wiggle-matching' (see below), a process which in this case might date the timbers to a +/- range of 25 years.
