The ditch was the moat, and it might be dry or full of water.
In order to attack a castle, you had to break through the gate, go over the walls, or break the walls down. The moat made it difficult to get to the gate, if there was a drawbridge, made it very hard to get ladders or siege towers to the walls to go over them, and made it very hard to dig under the walls to break them down, especially if it was full of water.
The earliest castles were Norman Motte and Bailey castles during the Medieval period of 1066 to 1153. Motte and Bailey were built on top on hilltops and a high and extremely steep mound was built which had very steep sides and a Tower was built on top of it. The process of excavating the earth to build the massive mound, which was the motte, created a highly convenient defensive ditch at the base of the motte and surrounding the whole of the bailey. The ditch became known as the Moat. These castles were made of wood. From 1154-1485 the castles builders were the Plantagenet English Kings. These great old castles were built for Medieval warfare and defence and new parts of the castle were designed for this. These were made of stone instead of wood because wood caught fire in battle.
Ditch Witch was created in 1902.
English women could not own property.
The ditch around a castle is called a moat.
Thomas Paine's common sense is a way to convince people to ditch the king and side with the patriots.
Castles had drawbridges to allow some people inside, usually by providing a bridge to get over a moat or ditch. Drawbridges could be brought up to keep other people out, such as enemies, since they could not get over the moat or ditch without it.

Strengths: Easy to build Very Cheap Lookout fort at top of motte. Portable Ditch around Bailey Large wooden wall Big artificial defensive motte (hill) Weaknesses: Walls could catch fire easily Could be destroyed by siege weapons. Wall could be destroyed
People ditch school because they have a twisted concept of reality. They think that they won't get caught. The people who know they will get caught are showing that they have no interest in their future.
The men dug a deep ditch to lay pipes for the new septic tank. I fell in the ditch, but luckily it was dry.

Many, but not all, castles are surrounded by a moat - a ditch filled with water. At the entrance to the castle there would be a bridge crossing the moat, and if this bridge was capable of being raised or otherwise "withdrawn", it was a draw bridge.
