Hi Andrew,

No, I do not think there is a better tag if you it is a fence or wall of some sort, we use barrier=fence or barrier=wall pretty often.

This wiki page will give all the details:

I didn't realize the presets put it under highway, that is an interesting connection, I never thought of it in that context either.

Cheers,
Blake

You are others have been discussing the tagging of buildings and open
areas, and I have been recently plotting areas in the Sudan - Juba
project which are site compounds which are either residential compounds
and business enclosures.  In more rural areas, similar rectangular
compounds might be stock holding areas ?  The only preset that I have
found is under highways/barriers/wall which seems somewhat
counter-intuitive and makes no differentiation on function.  Are there
better tags which I have failed to discover?
