In 1999 there was some controversy regarding this site and others under the care of the English Heritage organisation. The Cornish Stannary Parliament wrote to English Heritage asking them to remove all signs bearing their name from Cornish sites by July 1999 as they regard the ancient sites as Cornish heritage, not English. Over eleven months eighteen signs were removed by members of the Cornish Stannary and a letter was sent to English Heritage saying "The signs have been confiscated and held as evidence of English cultural aggression in Cornwall. Such racially motivated signs are deeply offensive and cause distress to many Cornish people".

I edited this a bit, as the language struck me as non-neutral. (Being a Yank, I have no particular axe to grind one way or another. I tried to retain the important information. Polytrope ( talk) 02:27, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
I visited the castle at the weekend. There are large windows in the keep opening out to 'ground level' of the top of the motte. There are a number of guide panels which describe how the windows represented a fatal flaw in the castle's defensive architecture and that the castle (in the form we see preserved today) was largely for show and was not intended to survive any serious assault.
Earlier incarnations of the castle before it was re-built in stone may well have not had these weaknesses so the quoted phrase is likely to be at least partly correct. I feel it needs adding to however to represent the above.
Unless anyone has objections I shall look at editing in the near future. -- 62.173.76.218 13:07, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

I've gone through and expanded a bit and added some in-line citations. Hopefully all OK without too many errors. Hchc2009 ( talk) 10:13, 7 August 2010 (UTC)
