"A Holding"

[Arthur Fuller]

Since you're acquainted with these words, can you tell me the origin of
"the keep"? Norman Mailer wrote a book with that title, and I'm guessing
that it means some kind of secondary property, not where one actually lives
but rather some hideaway in some forest or something.
