Motte and Bailey Castles, Concentric Castles and Stone Castles protect you when you are under attack. These type of castles where used by the Normans after they had taken control of England. They built castles all around the Country. The castles got most the English men under control. The few that they hadn't got under control led rebellians to try and destroy one of the Normans' castle. The castles were too powerful and always overpowered the rebellers.
A motte and bailey castle comprises of a rather large bailey which was raised above the ground and was surrounded by a wooden fence and a ditch it held the living quaters inside. Directly next to the bailey was the Motte this was raised much higher than the Bailey and was topped with a wooden keep surrounded by another wooden fence, these two structures were connected by wooden bridges. It was very cheap and rather quick to construct. Whereas a concentric castle is a much larger and expensive structure, its much larger and built out of stone. The main features that a concentric castle has are curtain walls with towers dotted along these walls ( Motte in Bailey have nothing of the sort).

The difference between a stone keep castle and a concentric castle is that a stone keep castle had hardly any defence. The only defence was their high walls. But the concentric castles had loads of walls surounding them. The word 'concentric' actually means with common middle point: describes circles and spheres of different sizes with the same middle point.

A Square Keep castle usually sits on a hill. It only has 1 wall of defence, whereas a concentric castle usually has about 3 thick walls. Concentric's also have a keep in the middle that has a wall 2.5 metres thick!
