motte means a mound of earth so bailey should mean the wooden castle and sheds.
Lazymeep: Afraid not - bailey is from a Norman-French word.
This baille or basse-cour which we would translate as a low yard.
So roughly, bailey means a low yard.
Bailey could also derive from the word 'bailiff' meaning fortifications.
