AN ancient moat that is over 3,000 years old has been uncovered in Guardamar on the southern Costa Blanca.
Archaeologists from Alicante University have made the find at the Phoenician-built wall site of Cabezo Pequeno del Estano.
The moat has a depth of three metres and has an eight metre width at the top.
The significance of the Guardamar find is that it is just one of two such moats discovered from the Phoenician era across the western Mediterranean area.
