The barrier surrounding Nancy Pelosi’s family compound could, I think, be called “Harridan’s Wall”.

I’d think that replacing Harridan with the b-word would be a more descriptive fit.
I stopped in at Birdoswald Fort, an outpost along Hadrian’s wall, years ago when I was in Northern England. It had a good visitor’s center and we spent several hours touring the excavations and walking the wall. What remains of the wall today isn’t that impressive but it was much more formidable in it’s day. After the Romans left Britannia the technical skills like building with stone left with them so the wall was gradually dismantled and the stones used by the locals for building material. We toured Lanercost Priory near Birdoswald and they pointed out how some of the stones that built the church were originally from the wall. Stone buildings all over the north of England were constructed with stones originally milled as part of Hadrian’s wall.
