Carlisle Castle keep

Hi Richard Nevell. Thanks for this edit to Carlisle Castle, adding the suggestion that the keep used to be taller. Do you have a source for this? I couldn't find it mentioned in source 3 or the McCarthy one in the additional reading, but haven't looked any further. --Northernhenge (talk) 15:36, 30 September 2024 (UTC)

It's from a lecture given by Stephen Brindle, an English Heritage Senior Properties Historian. There isn't a recording of it, so I may be bending WP:V a little here. Brindle's analysis is informed by McCarthy, but I think the conclusion that the keep was taller may be Brindle's. Richard Nevell (talk) 17:22, 30 September 2024 (UTC)
Which is to say that if anyone wants to revert because it doesn't have a reference I would certainly understand. Richard Nevell (talk) 17:23, 30 September 2024 (UTC)
Thanks. he mentions reducing the size on this website. It looks self-published, but better than nothing! --Northernhenge (talk) 13:58, 6 October 2024 (UTC)
