In a motte and bailey castle, soldiers typically lived in the bailey, which was the enclosed courtyard area surrounded by a wooden or stone palisade. This area often included barracks or temporary shelters where the soldiers could rest and store their equipment. The motte, a raised earth mound, usually housed the keep, where the lord and his family lived, providing a fortified position above the bailey. Soldiers would defend the castle from the bailey while maintaining a strategic presence in the motte.
