Tree-Ring Analysis of Timbers from Westenhanger Castle, Stone Street, Westenhanger, near Folkestone, Kent
Author(s): Robert Howard, R R Laxton, Cliff Litton
Fourteen samples from the rafters of the conical roof of a dovecote tower at Westenhanger Castle were analysed by tree-ring dating. All samples cross-matched with each other to produce a single site chronology of 238 rings spanning the period AD 1338 - AD 1575. Interpretation of the sapwood on the samples would suggest that the timbers represented were probably all felled in AD 1575.
