The fence was called a palisade. A palisade could be either of wood or of stone. There could be a small wall around the keep which was called a chemise or mantlet. I have been unable to find whether a chemise was also a palisade. There are links below.


What two parts did the castle consist of in the central manor?

In a central manor, the castle typically consisted of two main parts: the keep and the bailey. The keep served as the fortified living quarters and stronghold, providing protection and a place for the lord and his family to reside. The bailey, or outer courtyard, encompassed various buildings for domestic activities, storage, and stables, often surrounded by a defensive wall or palisade. Together, these components provided both security and functionality for the manor's inhabitants.

What is a medieval castle?

A castle is a fort. It was designed to be a place where people could stay in times of trouble. Typically it had a raised area called a motte, a curtain wall or palisade, and an open area within the wall called a bailey. Early castles were made of wood, and later ones made of stone. The stone castles usually had a large building called a keep, which often looked like a large tower. There was a gate house with a gate that could be easily defended. Often the castle was surrounded by a moat and getting to the gate meant crossing a drawbridge. The moat was often full of water. There is a link to an article on castles below.
