TREE-RING ANALYSIS OF TIMBERS FROM WESTENHANGER CASTLE, STONE STREET, WESTENHANGER, NEAR FOLKESTONE, KENT
Author(s): Robert Howard, R R Laxton, Cliff Litton
Thirteen 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 produced a single site chronology of 213 rings spanning the period AD 1338 - AD 1550. Interpretation of the sapwood on the samples would suggest that the timbers represented have an estimated felling date in the range AD 1560 - 80.
