The stone or square keep castle was built as a natural extension to the motte and bailey, only because the motte and bailey had lots of weakness like:
- sets on fire easily
- rots quickly
- isn't very warm
- doesn't have very good defense
the only down side was that if the enemy if they dug under ground and got to one of the towers could easily pull out a brick and top pal over the tower itself.

Facts about round keep castles?
Round Keep Castles were a type of castle during the medieval times. They were not built on a motte, unlike shell keeps. They were an adaptation of the square keep castles except they had round or polygonal walls. Medieval builders couldn't make the round keep castles as big as the square keep castles, so they were often cramped for space.
