Norman Castles  When the Normans captured an area they built castles for protection against the Irish  First they built castles made of wood  These were called motte and bailey castles

Motte and Bailey Castles  A keep (wooden house) was built on top of a small hill of earth- Motte  The Bailey was a open space in front of the motte  A wide ditch surrounded the motte and bailey. (moat)  Servants, craftspeople, soldiers and farmers lived in the bailey  There was also a garden and stables and sheds for animals.

Stone Castles  Eventually the Normans began to build stone castles instead of motte and bailey castles.  Can you think of any reasons why?  Think about - Protection, weather in Ireland, risk of fire.
