Martínez Amador defines \"castro\" as \"a hilltop with castles in ruins,\" so that gives you the idea that there was some sort of fortification involved. Of course, \"ribero\" means riparian or riverine, so there should be some reference to rivers.

I can\'t guess what \"oppida\" is supposed to be -- that might make a difference in the translation.

fortified settlement by a stream
In the area in question (Extremadura), they use the word ribero with the meaning of "arroyo", i.e. stream, or small river. Basically they use the Spanish version of the Portuguese word "ribeiro".
That's a slight difference from the use of riverside or shoreline.
As for "castro", I would go with the DRAE definition - that area has a lot of Roman settlements, so you could include the word Iberoroman.
