Advance towards Shurugeon Castle from its north-eastern flank. You should meet a bunch of ratlings. At this point, you can pause to slay a few of them, but bear in mind that the Amazoni mantraps will spawn behind you and approach very soon.
Now, run towards the moat and turn to your right. This means you should now be heading towards the northern face of the castle, where the drawbridge is. Swim across the moat and stay near the main drawbridge and a 2nd bridge nearby.
Around this point, at least for me, the mantraps will stop at a distance near the treeline and do nothing. You will probably be annoyed by a few surviving ratlings and some lagoon piranhas.... but now's your chance to make Amazoni Mantrap salad.
Adjust yourself so that you can blast the mantraps with spells from a distance while the mantraps do not retaliate. Use Sun spells - I found Dragon Breath and Flamestrike very effective. Don't bother with Force of Mind, Locust Swarm and the like.
I killed all four of them without taking a single hit like this! And in between spells, I was picking up arrows, knives and shuriken from the stupid rats!
