When were stone keep castles made?

The first stone keep castle was made just after the battle of Hastings in 1066 when William the duke of Normandy, William the Conqueror, decided that the original motte and bailey castle was too easy to attack. The attackers could burn most of the castle down because it was either made of wood, straw or mud. Also the wood palisade was not that strong or tall so any ladder could get over it and a battering ram could knock it down a lot easier than if it was made of stone... and that was when William the Conqueror decided to make castles out of stone because they did not burn and were stronger than wood or mud.
