Abstract:		 Dendrochronological sampling and analysis was requested for a timber assemblage recovered from a blocked garderobe chute during restoration work on the ruined tower house. Dating was requested to help inform the context of the timbers and their place in the castle's history, as part of programme of repair and consolidation of the site. Eleven of the 21 samples taken matched against each other, and the mean ring-width sequence formed from these is dated as spanning AD 1400 to AD 1632 against a range of previously dated site master chronologies. Three of the dated samples included partial sapwood, providing a felling date range of AD1632-49, AD 1630-53, and AD1609-45 indicating a post-medieval date for the assemblage.
