TREE-RING ANALYSIS OF TWO OAK TIMBERS FROM BRISTOL CASTLE.
Author(s): J Hillam
Tree-ring analysis of the two timbers from the edge of the castle ditch or river indicated that they were contemporary. They did not appear to date either to the late 11th century when the original construction of the Castle was thought to take place, or to the 17th centurywhen the present river bank was reclaimed, but a tentative felling date was found in the 14th century.
