Bank and ditch fortification

From the notice board near the site

Remaining earthworks

Remaining earthworks of the cairn.

The top of Nevern Castle – a larger bank can be seen ahead this is the motte of the castle – the road is the other side of this.
defensive?
(Picnic benches nearby)

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.

Ridge which public foot-path occupies (centre) the road is on the horizon. Ditches either side of bank.

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.
