The Saxons built motte-and-bailey fortifications. The Normans built Shell keeps. Both were intended to provide a fortified location from which enemies could be fought.
Saxons were/are from Saxony. Anglo-Saxons are in the Uk, a combination of the Saxons and the Angles.
Rome did not stop the Saxons. With the Angles, Jutes and other tribes, the Saxons conquered Roman Britain.
It was continental Europeans. The Saxons, Jutes, and Angles were seen as one. That one was know as the "Saxons". That created a problem for the continental Europeans due to the fact that not all of the Saxons immigrated to England. There were also the German Saxons. There were two of them. Identical. So to distinguish them, the Europeans started to call the English by the name of the 2nd largest tribe, the "Angles". (The German Saxons were 100% Saxons, while the English were multi-tribal). The Scots, the Irish & the Welsh did not encounter the German Saxons. They only had to deal with the English. So no one to compare the English with, which is the reason they still call the English today as the "Saxons" in their own language.

The construction of a Shell Keep, a type of fortification used in medieval castles, typically took several years to complete, depending on factors like size, resources, and labor availability. Generally, a Shell Keep could take anywhere from 5 to 10 years to build. However, the timeline could vary significantly based on the specific circumstances of the project and the technology available at the time.
Crabs keep better in the the shell.
Harold Godwinson was the king/military commander of the Saxons that tried to defeat William the Conqueror and keep the Saxons in charge of England.
