Watery defense (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

moat

'watery defense' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for moat that I've seen before include "Defensive water" , "Protective ditch" , "Castle surround" , "Trench round a castle" , "Ditch dug to protect a castle" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times.
