Did Warwick castle become a concentric castle?
No, Warwick Castle never became a concentric castle. Warwick Castle, located in the county town of Warwick in Warwickshire is in a location that isn't geographically prone to attack and therefore wasn't altered. Concentric castles were very expensive to build and would only be found in strategic locations. Warwick Castle is not near the coast of England or border with Wales. The process of updating it was delayed. After a Motte and Bailey it was, in 1260 compared with more stategical castles that were updated around 1100, turned into stone. Many castles gained the characteristic of a square (stone) keep but Warwick Castle gained a shell keep.

What does a higher conductivity mean?
Concentric castles were the next follow on from stone keep castles. Concentric castles, in Britain, are most associated with Edward I and North-West Wales where a series of huge castles were built. The most famous concentric castles are at Harlech, Beaumaris, Caernarvon and Conway. Unlike square keep castles, concentric castles had no central keep. In many senses, they had no centre either as all parts of the castle would have been considered to be a strong point. Each concentric castle had a very heavily defended entrance and the central core was defended by a series of curtain walls. The furthest of the curtain walls would have been the smallest in height to allow the defenders to see an approaching enemy. The curtain wall nearest to the castle would have been the highest to give the defenders the maximum height advantage over those attempting to take over the castle. JAJAJA
