dead hedge
-> "Dead Hedging
Dead hedging involves using some of the coppice material for making a barrier around the cut coupe. This technique has the advantage of using material from within the wood, much of which would otherwise have to be burnt. It is fairly labour intensive, so is very suitable for volunteer projects. Various different techniques are used, according to the labour and material available, and personal preference. The branching tops left after the coppice poles have been trimmed can be used, as well as unwanted scrub, brashings, rhododendron and other bushy material."
http://handbooks.btcv.org.uk/handbooks/content/section/3759
-> "Dead hedges, that is interwoven poles or brushy cuttings stuck in the ground, apparently were in use before Domesday as suggested by Anglo-Saxon manorial documents. Dead hedges are known to have been built to fence in deer from the start of the Tudor period (Pollard, Hooper and Moore, 1974). The dead hedge was the ancestor of the barbed wire fence..."
http://handbooks.btcv.org.uk/handbooks/content/chapter/65
-> "The simplest (and least skilled) form of dead hedge involves hammering in a row of upright stakes. ... The stakes are spaced two or three feet apart in a row, and then a second parallel row is hammered in two or three feet behind the first. A few pieces of supple growth such as ash or hazel are woven through the stakes to create rough sides, ... Now you have two very rough hurdles, and into the space between them you can drop felled or rotting timber, hedge cuttings, and any other twiggy or woody garden refuse that you don't want to shred for the compost bin"

And I particularly like this one:
-> "The Dead Hedge – for crooked and dense branches
You soon learn that very few branches are actually straight or even straightish and therefore useful for wattling, but if you’ve got a mass of crooked and dense material you can make a so called dead hedge instead. This takes up slightly more space but making one is just as simple. Decide how tall you want your dead hedge and bash two lines of appropriately sized straight thick stakes in to the ground with the mallet (three to four year old branches will probably do it) - one foot apart at fairly regular but alternate intervals"

brushwood bunds
My best guess is brushwood bund, although bunds are usually not entirely made of wood/branches/slash brushwood/ etc. Variations are possible.
"The threat of invasion from France was ever present during the first half of the 19th century; this gave rise to the volunteer movement of 1859, when the Newbury district contributed a company to the Berkshire county battalion. It was probably at this time that the firing ranges known as The Butts were constructed on Greenham Common. Some thirty feet high, they were situated across the road from the Volunteer Inn (originally called the Rifle Volunteer). There were flags and targets, with a brushwood and timber bund behind the targets. The ranges were between two and three hundred yards, which soon became inadequate as rifles improved."

Hoopgevend alternatief bij bosbeheer
Een takkenril of takkenwal is een langgerekte hoop van takken, welke bij dunning of snoei vrijkomen. Takkenrillen bieden nestel-, schuil- en voedselplekken voor vogels (winterkoning, heggenmus) en kleine zoogdieren (egel, spitsmuizen, wezel). Bovendien kan een takkenril door de juiste ligging ten opzichte van paden of holes dekking bieden aan schuwe bosfauna. Ook worden rillen gebruikt om recreanten te weren uit kwetsbare biotopen.

One could say "bund wall", when it regards a large and high structure intended as a fence.
When it is a thinner thatchwork of thin branches, one could say "brushwood thatch". Google this term with images for picures that make clear what this is. But this may only function as a cover, and is not a ril, which consitst of a frame of stakes which is filled up by thatched/braided branches.

It is puzzling why it is so difficult to dig up bund examples that are made from thatched wood materials. Perhaps they are rare in the British landscape, where historically stone bunds and hedges occur/function as delineations or fences. Bund and ril, however little used in dayly life, do indicate the same thing; it's just that 'houtril' has enjoyed a recent revival in the Netherlands as a natural and environmentally friendly park or garden element.

Note from asker:
| Thank you Max. I think brushwood bunds could be the best translation, but on the other hand it's not very promising google gives only 8 hits. Does anyone agree with this answer? |
