Alma 48:8

Yea, he had been strengthening the armies of the Nephites,

and erecting small forts, or places of resort;

throwing up banks of earth round about to enclose his armies,

and also building walls of stone to encircle them about,

round about their cities and the borders of their lands;

yea, all round about the land.

Alma 49:4

But behold, how great was their disappointment;

for behold, the Nephites had dug up a ridge of earth round about them,

which was so high that the Lamanites could not cast

their stones and their arrows at them that they might take effect,

neither could they come upon them

save it was by their place of entrance.
