The motte and bailey castles would have rotted within a few years of them being built. The stone castles however are still existing today. These stone castles that are still here today are open to tourists and visitors.

Although there are some castles still in good condition, many are either ruined or destroyed. This is because they are many hundreds of years old and had generally not been preserved once their purpose had been served.

Ruined wood castles are more likely to disintegrate into nothing whereas stone castles are more likely to leave recognisable ruins, so the number of the former is likely to be underestimated.
