	Moat - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Moats (also known as a Fosse) were deep and wide water-filled trenches, excavated to provide a barrier against attack upon castle ramparts or other fortifications.
		A moat made access to the walls difficult for siege weapons, such as a siege tower or battering ram, that needed to be brought up against a wall to be effective.
		A very important feature was that a water-filled moat made very difficult the practice of sapping or undermining, that is to say digging tunnels under the fortifications in order to effect a collapse of the defenses.

	Excavation of the Moat of Abomey
		The moat of Abomey was - according to the oral tradition - constructed by King Houegbadja (1645-1685), who moved his palace and capital to Abomey and surrounded it in a rectangular (European) manner with ramparts and moat.
		In the course of the excavation it was established that the original dimensions of the moat were 12 m in width and 6.6 m in depth.
		A part of the moat and rampart in Kétou city (on the Nigerian border), actually in the territory of the main local sanctuary, serves a fine example visualising the original appearance of the Abomey moat.

		Whatever the intended purpose of the flint layer, it may not be argued that permeability of the underlying rock precludes the possibility of a moat.
		Barrier/weirs are required only in the southern quadrant by the hypothesised moat, so to show that any exist in the north or west could cast doubt on their purpose, and to show they are absent in those quadrants would strengthen the argument that they were for the purpose proposed here.

		By analogy, a "moat" on a PCB occurs on a plane layer - a layer that is mostly all-copper, like a ground or power plane.
		The moat is any continuous line of no-copper that serves to isolate one copper area from another.
		Another example: the annular ring that isolates a thru-hole pad on a plane layer might be sometimes called a moat.
