A couple of things to remember concerning medieval towns:Sewage ran down the middle of the streets in a canal, channel, or conduit, if the town was prosperous the canal was traversed by strategically placed bridges, if not then you jumped or stepped over. The walled were usually constructed with two sides of rocks and inside was refuse, trash, dirt, etc. Most of the buildings were constructed of wood and the roofs were thatched.The keep, the area inside the castle, was used for the serfs to come to in the case of an attack. The buildings were built narrow and with steeply sloping roofs and against the inside walls of the city to buttress them in the case of attack.There are some sources listed below on construction …Hope this helps …
