Yes i just researched this and it is built on a hill so i think that it makes it a motte and bailey as it was built between 1066 and 1087. ( when William the conqueror was in reign).
The Normans introduced the first proper castles, starting with the wooden Motte and Bailey castles to England following their victory at The Battle of Hastings in 1066.
motte and bailey castles is called 'motte and bailey castles' because the motte is another word for the hill on which is the keep and the bailey is where all the people live in an area encircled by wooden posts which joins up to the hill
