Abstract
Several phases of construction within the building were assessed and found to have timbers with too few rings to be suitable for dendrochronology. Three ex situ oak lintels were sampled, but could not be dated. Two timbers from the stair turret were found to be of elm, and were not dated. Ten samples were taken from conifer timbers in the roof and attic floor over the west end of the house. Three timbers were combined into a working site master that did not date, but a further two samples matched each other and were combined into a site master that matched against chronologies from Norway and Sweden, dating the series to the period AD 1707–1810. The insertion of the truss from which these timbers were sampled cannot pre-date AD 1811.
