Does a trench help the defense of an empty fort?
Two rulebook sections state that an unoccupied fort gets no trench benefit.

No. Forts by themselves never benefit from a trench (11.2.9), and a fort with no friendly units in its space gets no trench benefit (15.1.6). The trench helps only when friendly units defend in the fort space, and then the fort's combat strength is added as well.
