800 denarii	2 turns	Large Town	Upgrades to Stone Wall

A rough wooden wall is a better defence than a palisade of stakes, but it is still not much of a problem to organised attackers. It will delay attackers getting into the settlement, and so is a good barrier against surprise raids. More organised attackers will, however, break the wall down sooner rather than later.

The wall also keeps locals and their livestock safe at night and gives a sense of permanence to a town. These walls are easy to construct with an unskilled workforce. Improving the walls also adds grain stores to extend the time a settlement can resist a siege.
