I wasn't happy with other walls always being shown flat for the most part so I threw this together this would be a curtain wall of a stone keep style castle. I haven't work out the corner tower design yet. I'm just looking for some input on wether this looks to busy to the eye any input would be appreciated
It doesn't look too busy, but could use some texture variation (i.e. mixing in some stone brick/regular stone into the cobble wall might help, or even adding some wooden structural support).
On a related note, why would a stone keep need a curtain wall? A curtain wall is a non-structural, non-defense wall that only serves to keep out wind and strong sunlight.

Learn something new every day. I wasn't referencing Wikipedia by the way. I'm an architecture student, so curtain walls today are a completely different thing than what they were for castles apparently.

You might want to add some carved stone brick to the base of the arches but that's the extent of new blocks needed.
Also a curtain wall is a defensive structure for castles, so you're right in its usage.
You're looking at the wrong wikipedia page.
