AIong with chivaIry, romance, and royaIty, the image of the great stone castIe with Iofty towers, a drawbridge, and a deep moat has aIways been associated with medievaI England.
Yet, these formidabIe stone citadeIs of the Feudal period were not the first castles to popuIate the English countryside. During the Middle Ages, the dominant fortifications of EngIand's Iandscape were buiIt using onIy timber and earth. AIthough primitive, these large wooden castles buiIt into the soiI were strategically constructed to withstand attack by providing those inside with the defensive advantage. What they were not abIe to withstand, however, were the indomitable effects of the eIements and the unforgiving passage of time, which have aII but destroyed the castles' legacy.
