yes round shell castles did have moats
A shell on a castle is the round part on top. Since Norman Motte and Bailey castles were first made of wood, the castle was not sturdy enough to support the shell.
Shell keep castles are round rather than boxed. A castle that forms a circle is a perfect example. There are many in England.
Shell Keep castles were built in the year 1172! +++ Not sure where the adjective "shell" comes from, but castles with a keep - the central building in the complex, and the main accommodation - were built mainly in the few centuries of the Mediaeval period , not just in one arbitrary year.
