* ''Keep and curtain wall''. To improve the ability of a motte and bailey castle to withstand sieges, medieval engineers went for the most obvious decision: build a solid wall instead of a wooden stockade around the motte. They built massive walls, high enough to be unscalable without proper siege ladders, and later augmented those walls with towers. Thr towers provided defenders a vantage point for raining arrows onto the attackers. The tower also became more fortified and turned into a ''keep'', or ''donjon'' - the main tower or fort of the castle, a smaller fortress inside it. Even when enemies breached or otherwise surmounted the curtain wall of the castle, the keep was able to fend them off for a while, hopefully until the [[TheCavalry relief or backup forces]] arrives.
