This was the design after The Square Keep. The Shell Keep was made out of stone and was circular. These were basically a fortified version of the Motte and Bailey. The Shell Keep was made up of a fortified gatehouse, a stone wall 8-10 feet thick and 20-25 feet high, that had battlements, a wall walk, and a number of buildings where built up against the wall.
