Abstract:		 A total of 27 cores was obtained from the Manor House, Avebury, with timbers of the east range roof, the roof of the south extension of the east range, and the 'upper' and 'lower' roofs of the south range, being sampled, along with two ceiling timbers to the kitchen in the east range, and two timbers to the roof of the north extension of the east range. Three of these 27 samples, one from the east range roof, one from the kitchen, and one from the roof of the north extension, had too few rings and they were not analysed. Of the 24 samples which were analysed, 21 (from all parts of the building) formed a single site chronology 204 rings long, these rings spanning the years 1393-1596. Two further samples, from the upper roof of the south range, form a second site chronology, but this cannot be dated. One other sample, from the roof of the north extension, remains a singleton and cannot be dated individually. The earliest timber is a ceiling beam from the kitchen, this estimated to have been felled some time between 1555 and 1580. The next timbers are those of the east range roof, these having an estimated felling date in the period 1574-99. It is highly likely that all the other timbers, those to the south extension to the east range, and those to the 'upper' and 'lower' roofs of the south range itself, were cut as part of a single programme of felling in 1600.
