Strengths:

  • Only take a few days to build
  • Really light which makes it easier to build
  • Quite strong
  • Built on a hill so you can see the enemy approaching
  • Made of wood- so quick and easy to build
  • Has a moat and a fence so it is more difficult to attack.

Weaknesses:

  • Catches fire easily
  • Wood can rot with the rain; it generally weakens with age.
  • Wood is a weak building material so therefore these castles could not be big
  • The motte can collapse with the weight of the castle on it
  • They were not big enough to house large groups of troops
