There are many strengths and weaknesses of a stone keep castle. One strength includes the size which makes it intimidating to attackers. The height also makes it easier to foresee attacks miles away. However, since stone keeps are square, an attacker could simply remove a corner and wait for the castle walls to cave in.

I only no the weaknesses and that is because the castle had corners it had blind spots when being attacked by the enemies
Arrows can easily fly over the top into the castle, which is apparent in nearly all castles. There are not many other weaknesses, although the outer wall is slightly skinnier due to its shape. Also, enemies can easily surround the castle for no means of escape.

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.
