Reculver Towers, Reculver Lane, Reculver, Kent: Tree-ring Analysis of an Oak Lintel
Author(s): Dr Martin Bridge
An oak lintel in the masonry wall of the towers was sampled producing a 78-ring core, plus some unmeasured additional rings, which failed to date. The crisp appearance of the beam, however, along with metal (stainless steel?) bars embedded in the masonry above the lintel indicated that the timber was probably of twentieth-century origin.
