One type of early castle was the wooden motte and baileycastle.
A motte was a usually two-storey castle on a hill, which was surrounded by a moat. A bailey stood at the foot of the hill and housed the hall, church, houses for the servants, a blacksmith, and pens for the animals. Both the motte and bailey were surrounded by palisade walls, and were connected by a ramp.

Bailey: The Bailey was an enclosed courtyard where you would find the chapel, the horses' stables, and huts for the baron's staff.
Keep: The highest part and hardest part of the castle to get to. In many books you will read that the keep is the 'last line of defence.'
Palisade: The wooden fence surrounding the bailey.
Drawbridge/gateway: The entrance to the castle. By using a drawbridge, the castle could control who would be allowed in and out.
Manor: A collection of houses in the Motte.
