MACER'IA (μάκελον). A rough wall or enclosure to a vineyard, garden, paddock, &c. (Isidor. Orig. xv. 9. 4. Cic. Fam. xvi. 18.) These were either made of irregular stones, put together without mortar (Serv. ad Virg. Georg. ii. 417.), or sometimes of brick, both baked and raw; as well as of earth and small stones rammed into moulds, like what is now termed pisé. Varro, R. R. i. 14. 4.
