TREE-RING ANALYSIS OF TIMBERS FROM ST. BRIAVEL'S CASTLE, GLOUCESTERSHIRE
Author(s): Robert Howard, R R Laxton, Cliff Litton
Analysis was undertaken of samples from twenty-eight oak timbers at St Briavel's Castle, Gloucestershire. This resulted in the production of a single site chronology of 275 rings spanning the period AD 1362 - 1636. Interpretation of the sapwood on all the samples in this site chronology would suggest that there are probably two phases of felling represented. The earlier is probably in the range AD 1621 - 1646 and the later is in the range AD 1637 - 1661. It is possible, however, that they were all felled in the period AD 1637 - 1646.
