Disgrifiad1. Possible garden/landscaping features associated with primary occupation of Narberth Castle (Nprn94121):
a roughly teraced area immediately S of the castle, thought to represent a Civil War ravelin (Murphy & Crane 2002, 74), or dumping associated with clearance of the castle ruins (Ludlow 2003, 31-2); OS County series (Pembroke. XXIX.10 1889) appears to portray a terrace, or counterscarp, 23m E-W by 75m, seperated from the S castle wall by a 9.5m wide ditch, having a tapering platform, c.10m N-S below it on the S; possibly a garden feature.
OS County series (Pembroke. XXIX.6, 10 1889) depicts a variety of features in the cwm on the E of the castle, covering an area c.60m N-S by 25m, possibly indicating the former position of fishponds.
