Round Keep Castles were a type of castle during the medieval times. They were not built on a motte, unlike shell keeps. They were an adaptation of the square keep castles except they had round or polygonal walls. Medieval builders couldn't make the round keep castles as big as the square keep castles, so they were often cramped for space.
