Ditch & Rampart

by digging a 6-8-foot-deep ditch around it and heaping the dirt into a mound around the inside. If it is near to a stream or lake, the water can be diverted to make a moat. It is of a size to surround the hall, its courtyard and its buildings, and is large enough to protect all the manor’s people and some of their livestock. It requires 5 professional soldiers to lead the commoners in a defense sufficient to get advantage of the DV. Any fewer and the enemy will find a way to breach it. Cost: £5 + £2 for a Moat. Annual Maintenance: £½ + £½ for a Moat Annual Glory: 1 Defense Value: 2 (4 for a Moat)
