	What is a Castle? - Castle Quest
		However, in the medieval, historical sense of the word, I would define a castle as a fortified structure which usually had a residential function (even though the accomodation may have been used on an irregular basis).
		Of course the nature of medieval castles and their functions changed over time from the timber functionality of early Norman structures to the palatial castles of the late medieval period, the defences of which were more apparent than real.
		I tend to accept castles as such when (in Scotland at any rate) they were built during the period that defensive features were necessary, and exixted.
