They were defended by an army of soldiers and many other things, such as a moat surrounding it. The moat would be good, as the attackers would need to row a boat through it or swim. They would be easy targets for the archers on the top of the castle.
Another thing that helps defend a stone castle is a curtain wall to prevent fires alighting and as a strong shield. These type of castles had high walls to make sure climbing intruders would need a longer time to get on top.
They had battlements like a crenel and merlon so that defenders can fire missiles through them.
Machiolations are boxes that have holes in them so that boiling oil or stones could be dropped onto attackers.
Hope this helped. (:
