I'm being a churl again, I know, but unless the moat is much deeper than it looks on the map, it is unlikely that one would find that substantial a water table that close to the surface. The idea of a spring, on the other hand, works quite well. But then the moat would have an outflow, which usually is no problem. Many moats have an outflow.

Happy weekend.
