a keep was used for protecting soldiers, because they was made out of stone they could be built very strong so they would last longer than motte and bailey castles. it used to be built upon a hill so that attackers would have to try and scramble up the hill while the archers could should them as they triedto reach the top.

hope this helps (: xx
