Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

the main reason was the strength as the older ones weren't good enough, therefore they needed the newer stone keep castles so they could defend Britain more efficiently, other than be raided and burnt down or whateverWww@QuestionHome@Com

they changed from quickly built wooden motte and bailey castles to stone castles that could take years and years to build
the wooden ones were built first so they had somewhere to defend themselves etc, and they lived here while the stone ones were being built

i think that's right anyway
