fenceless

Lacking any enclosure

Fenceless describes land or property without fences—open, unenclosed, unbounded: The cattle roamed across fenceless prairie.

The word sometimes carries connotations of freedom or vulnerability, depending on whether the absence of barriers is desirable: a fenceless garden at the mercy of deer.
