It is the site of a mediaeval manor house and moat.
I am genuinely bewildered by the idea that it is safer to be in a trough or a moat.
There must be no stagnant moat encircling it, no unscaleable wall around it.
This is the moat useful analogy for engineers, since it is capable of yielding fairly precise quantitative information and it can be applied to a wide variety of problems.
The wall and moat managed to prevent the theft of materials and tools, and the 'maestranza' from shirking their duties.
A subtle modulation of paving, a fictive moat and a cosmic dragon presiding over a water tank (for ritual cleansing) then announce the principal shrine.
Our house is our castle, but it no longer needs to be surrounded by wall and moat.
Is there a duty to drain the moat (shut off the current) in order to avoid excessive punishment?
