An initial study of samples from 30 recently felled Irish oak trees established the validity of the dendrochronological method in Ireland and provided a standard chronology from A.D. 1649 to the present. Using timbers from previously undated post-medieval buildings in the north of Ireland this chronology has been extended back to A.D. 1380. The chronology has been used for the dating of numerous post-medieval timbers, of which two groups are discussed.
