Defensive ditch

Ross

I believe the answer is:

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">defensive ditch</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this before)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for moat that I've seen before include "A deep water-filled ditch around a castle" , "Defensive water" , "Ditch dug to protect a castle" , "Trench around fortifications" , "defensive construction" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times, the LA Times, the Canadiana, The Washington Post, the L.A. Times Daily and the Wall Street Journal.
