I doubt that they're referring to mud castles!

| | earthwork fortifications | شرح: I don't know a better way of expressing it, though no doubt there is an erudite term for it!
But I just wanted to say that I don't believe this use of 'earth' is anything to do with waht the walls are made of (they would originally have been wooden pallisades, for example), but much more about the type of defences used, e.g. the classic bank-&-ditch layout, as perfected by the Romans.
This fits seamlessly with the idea of the 'motte castrale' --- there was a mound bearing some kind of building, and defensive earthworks all around.

I don't at al dispute the use of mud or cob as a building material! (I'm sitting in a cob house right now, in Normandy!)
All I'm trying to say is that these early forts consisted mainly of earthworks with a wooden fort inside them --- the 'earth and wood' refers to just that, nothing whatever to do with the construction of the walls of the buildings themselves.... |

| cob castle
شرح: "Cob"= "Torchis" which is probbly nearer to the "architecture" of these early "castles"
