neutral  philgoddard: Your translation doesn't work, but your reference is useful. They're all spikes of very different kinds.

agree  Cyril Tollari: I prefer 'anti-climb guards' // I think your answer is by far the more helpful, and as mentioned in your answer spikes may be too specific as we don't know how they look like. There may be more than just spikes to these 'herses'

  -> Thanks Cyril - I considered "anti-climb" as an option too. This seemed to cover more bases as the source text is not very specific // Cyril, go ahead and suggest "anti-climb guards" - I will agree with it (I almost suggested it myself"!) :)

agree  B D Finch: I'd stick with "spikes", but make them "anti-climb spikes". There are various other sorts of anti-climb protection and "herses" are, specifically, sets of spikes.
