Most of the castles built by the Normans during the 11th and early 12th centuries were built of earth (not wood). They forced local populations of Saxon peasants to dig the moats and pile up the clay, soil and gravel to make banks on the inner side. These ramparts were topped with wooden palisades and there was a central wooden tower on the main central mound (motte). By the middle of the 12th century castles began to be replaced with structures entirely or mainly of stone. It was again local peasant workers who did almost all the manual labour on these stone castles.
