I'll get to this shortly.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 13:35, 1 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • No DABs, external links OK
  • Images appropriately licensed.
  • Are any inventories of the artillery there available?
  • No... What I think happened is that it became treated as private property by right and custom, which would fit the absence of records about the transition, but another theory could be that the land underneath the castle had remained in private ownership all the way through, and once the fort stopped being used by the Crown there was no additional property right to interfere with the ownership of the ruins. One of the oddities of these forts is that the property model varies quite a lot across the early period. Either way, I couldn't find a clear explanation for the intervening period!

  • I'd tend to agree with you about the first theory, especially for these sorts of small, non-strategic types of fortifications. Pity though, I'd have thought that historians would have spent more time tracking down the ownership histories of these sorts of things, although I guess that the surviving documents just don't cover the topic.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 19:31, 12 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
