The Motte and Bailey was quick to construct, but was generally made of wood. This made it extremely vulnerable to fire-flinging attacks - and also quite temporary, too. Generally, they were built of sandstone or limestone, but the whole castle wouldn't have been made of stone - it was expensive and unwieldy. Costs would have been cut by using wooden roofs, partitions, and supports.
