A moat is a channel that is filled with water or magma. It menacingly prevents the passage of any creature traveling on foot (swimmers and fliers will be able to cross). This is a simple technique to prevent a goblin siege from entering your fortress. However, in the winter water moats my freeze, allowing foot traffic across the ice. Empty moats are just as impassable as filled moats, although not nearly as menacing. Even more menacing still would be a channel filled with upright spike traps.
