Like some fences (5)
I believe the answer is:
gated
'like some fences' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for gated that I've seen before include "Forbidden to leave college" , "Confined to college" , "Barred from leaving" , "Kept in as punishment" , "deprived of liberty for a while" .)
