No, it did not need a moat. The wide river Pembroke runs close beneath the castle on the north-east, north, west and south-west sides; originally an artificial dry ditch protected the south-east approach, leaving just a short southern portion of the outer wall without any form of ditch or moat.
This short section lay within the protective walls of Pembroke town, which any attacker would first have to breach; it was also protected by a very strong gate tower and four further circular towers.
