What are the similarities and differences between Square Keep Castles and baily and motte?

Both square keep castles and bailey and motte castles serve as fortifications from the medieval period, designed to provide defense and residence for nobility. A square keep castle features a large stone tower as its central component, often surrounded by a curtain wall, while a bailey and motte castle consists of a raised earthwork mound (motte) topped with a wooden or stone structure, alongside an enclosed courtyard (bailey). The primary difference lies in their construction materials and design; square keep castles are more permanent and robust, while bailey and motte castles are typically simpler and easier to build. Despite these differences, both types of castles reflect the feudal system and the need for protection during turbulent times.
