Abstract
Tree-ring analysis was undertaken on samples taken from the coach house/stables range, the castle tower, and the castle annexe resulting in the construction of a single site sequence representing two tiebeams from the tower. This site sequence could not be conclusively dated through dendrochronology alone but tentative dating obtained has now been supported by radiocarbon wiggle-match dating. These two tiebeams are now known to have been felled in AD 1439–64DR.
