The inner bailey is the enclosed courtyard of a castle. It comes from the Motte and bailey when they were first built.

Names of concentric castles?

The outer wall of a castle is called a curtain wall. Inside it is a ward or bailey. Sometimes a castle has a second curtain wall in the ward, providing a second line of defense in case the outer one fails. Such a castle is called a concentric castle. There is a link to an article on concentric castles below.


How do you build a castle?

Personally I would make it out of card board. It could include round towers which could be made out of toilet roll. REMEMBER: A concentric castle needs an outer wall and the castle goes in the middle. The outer wall is to give the castle more protection. Try not to make it a fairy-tale castle and more of a historic castle made out of stone.

What does a medieval castle include?

To see pictures and diagrams of what castles look like, click on the related links listed below. As the medieval period spanned approx 400 years, what medieval castles looked like could vary a lot depending upon when they were built, what materials were used and the location. Following the Norman Conquest of England in 1066 until around 1100, castles were mainly motte and bailey type with frames and palisades (fences) made of timber. From the 12th century onwards these were replaced by castles made of stone, the most substantial being concentric castles. Leeds Castle in Kent built in 1119 is a good example of a concentric castle which is still in tact. The site for a castle's construction could vary enormously and therefore affected how it was built and how it looked. One example is Bamburgh Castle in Northumberland which was built on very high ground overlooking. Another is Beaumaris Castle in Anglesey which was built on marshland.
