The Normans started building castles straight away after winning The Battle of Hastings, starting with one at Hastings itself. Then others sprang up such as the one at Tonbridge in Kent. These early castles were wooden structures perched on top of an artificial mound called a motte and surrounded by a ditch filled with water and a rampart enclosing a courtyard or bailey. Later castles, made of stone, were built all over England, but especially in the Welsh border country where the local population were troublesome. Here were built the massive Chepstow, Pembroke, Caerphilly, Cardiff and Kidwelly castles - all still standing today.
