I Am Interested In Building A Motte And Baily Castle For A School Project. At First I Was Thinking Of Making One Out Of Cardboard Because It Is Easy Enough To Work With And Now I Think I Am Going To HAve To Stick With That Idea Because I Am Running Out Of Time! So Anyways, My Question Was What Does A Motte And bAily Castle Look Like? I Do Know That They Are ON The Top Of A Large Mound Surrounded By A Moat But What Does The Actual Castle Itself Look Like? Is It Made Out OF Stone? Wood? Is It Big, Tall? Small? Does It Look LIke A Typical Castle? I Was Affraid I would End Up Building A Mix Between A Concentric Castle And A Motte And Baily, And That Would Not Be Good>>>
