stockaded

Enclosed by posts

Stockaded describes something enclosed or fortified with a stockade—a barrier of upright wooden posts or stakes, typically sharpened at the top.

The term appears in historical and military contexts: a stockaded fort, the stockaded perimeter of the settlement.

It can also mean confined within a stockade, which served as a military prison: stockaded prisoners awaited court-martial.
