What does a higher conductivity mean?
Concentric castles were the next follow on from stone keep castles. Concentric castles, in Britain, are most associated with Edward I and North-West Wales where a series of huge castles were built. The most famous concentric castles are at Harlech, Beaumaris, Caernarvon and Conway. Unlike square keep castles, concentric castles had no central keep. In many senses, they had no centre either as all parts of the castle would have been considered to be a strong point. Each concentric castle had a very heavily defended entrance and the central core was defended by a series of curtain walls. The furthest of the curtain walls would have been the smallest in height to allow the defenders to see an approaching enemy. The curtain wall nearest to the castle would have been the highest to give the defenders the maximum height advantage over those attempting to take over the castle. JAJAJA
Why were Concentric Castles better than Motte and Bailey castles?
Concentric castles were better than Motte and Bailey castles because concentric castles were made out of stone and Motte and Bailey castles were made out of wood. Stone's better than wood for these reasons: * Wood catches fire easily * Wood rots within a few years * Wood's lighter making it easier to knock down Even though stone is better than wood in those many ways, wood's cheaper and, as explained above, is lighter. The wood being light means that it's easier to built.

Why were catles built in the first place?
Castles were first built in the form of motte and bailey castles. They were built just after the battle of hastings in 1066 by King William all around the country. Motte and bailey castles were made out of wood so they burnt easily and rot quite quickly. Many people were angry at him for killing their past King. He built them to try and reduce the amount of rebellions. Williams soldiers scared people into doing what he wanted. After a few years some of the castles were changed into concentric castles. These were made out of stone and didn't burn easily and doesn't rot quickly.
How old are Stone Keep Castles?
Stone Keep castles (Stone castles) are quite a few centuries old. They were built in the 11th century by King William I (William the conqueror) not long after he took over Britain after the battle of hastings. Stone castles however, weren't the first castles William built in Britain. He first built Motte and Bailey castles. The reasons for this were that they were cheap and easy to build as they were made out of wood. He decided to build Stone castles to replace many of the Motte and Bailey castles for many reasons including these: * Stone castles don't burn * Stone castles don't rot within a few years but will carry on standing for centuries to come * Stone castles were heavier, making them much stronger
