About Moat

Moats in Moat, Cumbria, historically served as vital defensive structures surrounding castles and fortifications, providing an initial line of protection. These broad ditches, which could be dry or water-filled, sometimes evolved into larger water defenses like lakes and dams. While many older fortifications, including hillforts, referred to these structures simply as ditches, their practical uses ranged from defense to ornamental features and even sewage management.
