Early castles
• Typical castles during
the Norman period,
built on a motte
surronded by a
bailey courtyard
at the bottom

• The motte was
replaced by a strong
tower called a keep.
Easier to defend
Round keep
Dublin Castle was built like this!
• Concentric castles
with outer or curtain
walls
For protection...
A moat was a deep ditch
filled with water all
around the castles

was built

strong wooden or
iron grating for
blocking or
allowing access

holes in the roof
through which rocks
or other things capable
of causing death were
dropped
Against the enemy
