Fosse
Castle's water barrier
A fosse is a ditch or moat, especially one surrounding a fortification: The castle's fosse had long since dried up.
The word is archaic in general use but survives in historical and archaeological contexts describing defensive earthworks. (Capitalized Fosse typically refers to choreographer Bob Fosse or his distinctive style.)
