Leicester's Gatehouse, Kenilworth Castle, Kenilworth, Warwickshire : Tree-Ring Analysis of Timbers
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Samples were obtained from 115 different timbers in the Gatehouse proper and Colonel Hawksworth's House at Leicester's Gatehouse, Kenilworth Castle. Of these 115, 91 were measured, 24 having too few rings. Of the 91, 62 can be combined into one of 12 site chronologies, seven of which, representing 49 samples, are dated. A further single sample is dated individually. Five site chronologies, representing 13 samples, and 28 measured ungrouped samples are undated. The Gatehouse proper contains a number of timbers which were probably felled in the third quarter of the sixteenth century, a period coinciding with its construction by Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester. The Gatehouse was later re-roofed with timber felled in AD 1740-60. Whilst Colonel Hawksworth's House contains a small amount of sixteenth- century material, the majority of dated timbers appear to have been felled in the later-fourteenth century. This includes timbers from partition walls, the newel posts of the staircase, some of timbers in the roof space, and possibly some oak panels, these last being of Continental origin. Most of these timbers are re-used. A number of other timbers remain undated. Most notably perhaps are those of the stairs in the south-west turret of the Gatehouse.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
