Plan and side view of a Motte and Bailey castle - Multi-page image (Large Print)

Synopsis

These images show two different views of a Motte and Bailey Castle. There is also a key on the first page. There is a locator dot shown on each page, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the right way up. Plan view of a Motte and Bailey Castle: This image shows a plan with the Motte on the left centre of the page and the Bailey on the right centre of the page. At the bottom of the page is a key explaining the textures used on the two images of a Motte and Bailey Castle. Both the Motte and the Bailey are surrounded by a ditch filled with water, which also separates them. On the left of the page is the rounded edge of the ditch, right from this is the round Motte. In the centre of the Motte is the square keep which is surrounded by the palisade (strong fence) represented by a circular dashed line. On the right side of the palisade is a block of steps leading down to the solid removable bridge which crosses the ditch and joins the Motte and Bailey together. To the right of the bridge is the Bailey which is also surrounded by a palisade. There are four thatched huts on the Bailey containing accommodation, a kitchen and a store room. On the right edge of the Bailey is a drawbridge which links the castle to the surrounding land. Side view of a Motte and Bailey Castl: This image shows the Motte on the left of the page and the Bailey on the right of the page. At the bottom of the page is the ground upon which the castle sits. The image is surrounded by an image border. In the bottom left of the image is a section through a water filled ditch. To the right of this is the earthworks of the Motte. This is soil which has been dug out of the ditches. Up from this the palisade can be found. Up from this the wooden keep rises in a tall tower with two windows. The base of the tower cannot be found as it is behind the palisade. Down and right from the palisade are steps leading to a removable bridge (if the castle was attacked it would be removed). This bridge crosses another part of the water filled ditch and leads to the bailey. There is a gatepost and then another palisade stretching across to the right side of the page. Sticking up from the palisade are two of the thatched wooden buildings. The base of the buildings cannot be found as they are behind the palisade. To the right of the palisade is another gatepost which supports a drawbridge. The drawbridge is being pulled up so that it is not possible to cross the ditch until it is safe to lower it again.
