When I thought of a wavering Virginia fence, the first thought I had was of this brick wall, designed by Thomas Jefferson at the University of Virginia.

The wall is "serpentine" to provide rigidity, since it is only one brick thick (good band name: One Brick Thick), but now that I am reminded of the post-less wooden fences Dr. Bill mentioned, I wonder if Jeffy didn't have them at least partially in mind for what he called his "academical village".
