stump fence

noun, a fence constructed of tree stumps

“These’d be stump fences, after they cleared the field and everything that was on the field, all the trees, what they didn’t burn. Couldn’t burn the stumps very well, so they made fences out of them along hedgerows and stuff like that.”

“There’s still stumps of pine trees where they cleared the land back there along where they used to make stump fences, and ’course in Ireland there was so much stone they had stone fences there.”
