Piers
Combined with a wall, a fence, balustrading or boundary marker, piers act in a supporting role and are generally more robust than the unit they support.
Larger piers decorated with varying levels of stone detailing would be positioned at entrances and major openings with lesser piers throughout the line of walling etc.
