In militaryfortification, a barricado is
a defensive
barrier, hastily built with barrels, wagons, timber, rocks,
furniture, or any other accessible materials, to protect against an
enemy's advancing assault. Traditionally, barricados were generally
made of trees, which were crossed with batons as long as a half-pike, bound around with iron at the feet, and
usually set up in passages, or breaches, to block both horses and
foot soldiers.
