Motte and Bailey castles could have been improved by making them bigger and stronger. In fact, they did improve Motte and Bailey castles to make them bigger and stronger. To make them stronger, they made them out of stone. These castles were called Stone Keep castles (Stone castles). Also, they were much bigger. Stone Keep castles still stand today because stone doesn't rot within a few years but will last for centuries. None of the Motte and Bailey castles still stand today because they were made out of wood and would have rotted within a few years.

they would rot because wood is crap
