What a moated site is
A moated site at a farmstead refers to the remains of a formerly water-filled ditch that once encircled the property. On the Lower Rhine, such moats served for defence or to mark boundaries at numerous farms and manor houses. The official monument register does not record the construction date or exact appearance of the Bollwerk farm itself.
