The Concentric Castle is the final castle in this Medieval Castle series and follows the recurring theme of change and adaptability.
Stone Keep Castles were expensive, and take 5 to 10 years or more to build depending on the size of the castle
The shell is built up against the outside wall of the existing wooden keep, and smaller, wooden buildings are built against the inside wall, creating a courtyard inside the structure.
These castles resembled a figure eight with a keep built on top of a hill, and an elongated, enclosure built below the hill.
Welcome to this five-part mini-series: all you want to know about the architecture and history of medieval castles.
