Palisade
A palisade is a steel or wooden
fence or wall of variable height, used as a defensive structure. Typical construction consisted of small or midsized trunks of trees aligned vertically, with no spacing in between. The trunks would be driven into the ground, and would sometimes be reinforced with additional construction. The height of a palisade can range from a few feet or more to nearly ten feet. As a defensive structure, palisades were often used in conjunction with
earthworks.
