There is a Whitehill Farm about 5 miles from Ayr on the road to Dalmellington overlooking Martnaham Loch.  It is up for sale by Strutt & Parker so if you Google it you will get pictures and there seems to be plenty of pond water around it apart from the lochan.
The old burial ground at Newton can be seen on old maps just off the crossroads at the Racecourse.
I've not heard of the Whitehill moat, I usually associate them with castles.
cheers, Ian
