Cheval de frise The cheval de frise ( plural : chevaux de frise ) was a medieval defensive anti - cavalry measure consisting of a portable frame ( sometimes just a simple log ) covered with many projecting long iron or wooden spikes or spears . They were principally intended as an anti - cavalry obstacle but could also be moved quickly to help block a breach in another barrier . They remained in occasional use until they were replaced by wire obstacle s just after the American Civil War . During the Civil War , the Confederates used this type barrier more often than the Union forces . During World War I , armies used " chevaux de frise " to temporarily plug gaps in barbed wire . Chevaux de frise of barbed wire were used in jungle fighting on south Pacific islands during World War II . The term is also applied to defensive works comprising a series of closely set upright stones found outside the ramparts of Iron Age hillforts in northern Europe . Etymology . means " horse of the Frisia ns " . The Frisians , having few cavalry , relied heavily on such anti - cavalry obstacles in warfare . The term came to be used for any spiked obstacle , such as broken glass embedded in mortar on the top of a wall . Use . An anti - ship version was designed by Robert Erskine as a means of keeping British warships from proceeding up the Hudson River during the American Revolutionary War . A cheval - de - frise was placed between Fort Washington at northern Manhattan and Fort Lee in New Jersey in 1776 . The following year construction began on another north of West Point at Pollepel Island , but it was overshadowed by completion of The Great Chain across the Hudson in 1778 , which was used through 1782 . Similar devices planned by Ben Franklin were used in the Delaware River near Philadelphia , in between Fort Mifflin and Fort Mercer . A cheval - de - frise was retrieved from the Delaware River in Philadelphia on November 13 , 2007 in excellent condition , after more than two centuries in the river .
