Unitof1. A "CASTLE" is a fortifed building. Sometimes made of stone or as the earliest castles where made of wood. Maiden castle, which was a "Hill-fort", had a wooden protective fence around the upper edge of the site, and wooden houses and other structures within, this fenced area. The Saxon and then the Normans, first made their structures of wood. Quite often within the already existing Roman Forts, which where always at strategic locations, next to roads and waterways. Are you still awake ?. Their also stacks of rocks called castles, which have no defenceable value, and are in name only. I hope this has answered your question.:face-approve:
