They needed a keep because that was the strongest part of the castle and the portculis.
The chief tower, also called the keep; a massive tower in ancient castles, forming the strongest part of the fortifications. See Illust. of Castle.
Keep (or dungeon if you were really unlucky!)

Keep, portcullis?
A keep was a part of a castle.
The safest part of the castle is the keep because it is the highest point in the castle. Also, it is made of thick walls.

The strong points of Arundel castle are the rounded corners because they have more surface area, the 9 feet thick wall surrounding the castle keep building built at the center of the Mott. This is the strongest part of the whole castle) and the 100 feet high Motte (a man made mound of earth.) Overall it is a very strong castle!!! :)
I believe it is called a turret.Turret: A small tower; more specifically the buttressed corner of a keep that provided extra protection to a most vulnerable part of the building. (A corner, if 'blind' to the field, could be undermined and bring down parts of two walls.)Room at the top of a castle tower is sometimes called the Donjon (Latin: Dominant Point) or Dungeon either inside the Keep or the Keep itself, the strongest part of the castle. Once the Lord's quarters, later the prisons where notorious prisons were kept before dungeons were built underground.It can also be used as a strong room for storing treasure e.g Tower of London although they are currently stored in the Waterloo Barracks not in the Donjon.
False. The eye of a hurricane is calm. The strongest part of a hurricane is the eye wall.
