What is a bailey castle?
A Motte and Bailey castle consisted of a wooden tower, on top of a large man made mound or motte, they were sometimes based on solid rock. It provided a look-out post, as well as adding tactically important height if the castle was attacked. The bailey was a large, level, enclosed area beside the motte, surrounded by an earth work bank and ditch, topped with a timber palisade. The bailey often contained a hall, buildings for livestock, a forge and armoury, and a chapel. Due to the use of wood in their construction, these castles were particularly vulnerable to fire.

They lasted longer, they were better defence though the only down side was that they took a lot longer to build. The wooden Motte and Bailey castles only took a week or two but the stone castles would take months.Square keep castle are quite strong castles, as for this they built lots of them for defence the stronger the castle the better defence because square castles have round towers in each corner the pressure spreads every where and not in one place so the castle does not collapse.
