Are castles made of stone?
All castles that exist today are made from stone because stone lasts for a long time. In total there were three types of castles: Stone Keep castles (Stone castles), Motte and Bailey castles and Concentric castles. The Stone Keep castles were made out of stone along with the Concentric Castles and still stand to this day as great monuments. The Motte and Bailey castles, however were made out of wood and have all rotted away to leave none left standing today.
In what time period were Stone Keep Castles built?
Stone or square keep castles were first built in Medieval England by William the Conqueror. Stone keep castles were the natural extension of motte and bailey castles. Motte and bailey castles were only temporary features (though many mottes exist to this day) while stone keep castles were built to last.

What is the difference between motte and bailey and stone keep castles?
Motte and Bailey Castles are created on a raised mound which is either natural in formation or built. At the top perimeter of the mound a wooden post fence is built and within this enclosure there is usually a watch tower built. The design probably dates back as far as the neolithic period when hill forts were constructed to protect towns. These type of castles are temporary in nature unlike the stone keep castle which as its name implies is made of more permanent materials and is surrounded by a stone wall. Later versions of stone walled castles employed such structures as gatehouses, moats keeps and watchtowers, including the grander ones having both inner and outer courtyards.
