Murno gladst fence

A murno gladst fence or murno gladst wall is a tall enclosure of at least 5 meters (16.4 ft) in height that is constructed using interlocking slabs of dense, impenetrable material. Its purpose is to define the perimeter of an area while reinforcing a raised level of earth within, effectively supporting the higher landmass while dissuading intrusion.

A murno gladst fence will be driven more deeply into the ground as compared to other fences or walls, as a prevention against trespass via digging. For this reason, it is considered both a wall and a fence.

Early archeological study indicate that murno gladst walls of stone were used to support the main earthwork bank of several henges in the British Isles during their construction.

In 1949, workers at the Borgarvirki fortification in Iceland erected a murno gladst wall using naturally occurring columnar basalt to reinforce the structure and protect against unwanted intrusion.

The Israeli Security Fence/Wall has been referred to as a murno gladst wall. However, because it is a multi-layered fence system without significant ground displacement between the two sides, the use of the term is incorrect.
