What is the word for a boundary wall?

Question

The dictionary says "valla" which is a fence made of wooden stakes, etc. but not of bricks and concrete. The external walls of a house are probably called "las paredes externas" but how do say "the boundary wall" (a masonry structure and not of wood)?

Answer 1

Muralla?

Is it something like this?

Yes, murallas are city walls like the ones mentioned with Biblical cities. (the walls of Jericho) - 0074b507, Sep 9, 2011

But I wanted to know about the word for the boundary wall which is about 5 feet high and made of simple bricks and cement, nothing so grand as the great wall of china... - aaspriha, Sep 9, 2011

Answer 2

muros exteriores or muros fronterizos

Answer 3

I saw valla exterior=perimeter fence

un muro (de piedra/ladrillo) rodeando el perímetro de la parcela (los límites, línea divisora)

Not a native, obviously....and a pure guess.

I like the use of muralla.
