large bank/hill on the left with a ditch on the right. I would assume it was for defensive purposes. A ridge is to the extreme right and just out of the photo.

View of the public entrance near the road – public footpath goes along a steep ridge (as seen) with ditches either side.
to the extreme left and just out of the photo the topography slopes upwards again; the ditch(es) could then be interpreted as defensive.
