      Chepstow castle maybe? Or maybe you try some of those more modern castles like Barkley?

      There is a small Castle similar to this on the Warren point to Newry road, its at the edge of the river that leads to the city centre. It's called Narrow Water Castle, Newry but It's closer to Warren point.

    Local legends say that the hole in the keep's wall was made deliberately to reduce the amount of "council-tax" (or whatever the equivalent was in those days) that the owners would have to pay. Others say it was caused by cannon fire.

    Be a bit more natural sounding if you narrate at a normal pace.
    Useful light could be shed on the history of the town, and its most prominent feature, if you confront the fact that it's principal streets are called 'gates - Wellgate Lowergate, arguably Castlegate, just as you see in York, and this suggests Viking origins which would predate the Normans by 150 to 200 years. The expulsion of Ingimundr from Dublin in 902 led to a settlement/invasion of the coast of Anglesey, Wirral, Preston and Lancashire. Clitheroe may well have been settled in that era. I really look forward to a new History that reaches back behind the usual post Norman hegemony.

    Must really suck to be English, this type of thing might make up for it though.
