Ditch surrounding a castle (4)

I believe the answer is:

moat

(Other definitions for moat that I've seen before include "Water defence" , "Last ditch defence?" , "Defensive water-filled ditch" , "Water-filled defensive trench" , "A deep water-filled ditch around a castle" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
