Ruins of Catchfrench Old House and Screen Wall, Catchfrench Manor, St Germans, Cornwall: Tree-ring Analysis of Oak Timbers

Author(s): Alison Arnold, Robert Howard, Cathy Tyers

Dendrochronological analysis was undertaken on two core and three sliced samples obtained from both in situ and ex situ timbers at this site. This analysis produced a single site chronology comprising two samples, this being 77 rings long overall. Although this site chronology could not be dated, the grouping of the two samples would suggest that the two timbers represented, a wall beam and a lintel to the doorway/entrance tower, are coeval. The three remaining ungrouped individual samples are also undated.
