Rwanda has ill-prepared border protection (8,4)

I believe the answer is:

hadrian's wall

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'border protection' is the definition.
'hadrians wall' can be an answer for 'border' (I have seen 'Old border' mean 'hadrians wall' so perhaps 'border' could also mean 'hadrians wall'). I am not sure about the 'protection' bit.

'rwanda has ill-prepared' is the wordplay.
'prepared' indicates anagramming the letters.
'rwanda'+'has'+'ill'='rwandahasill'
'rwandahasill' with letters rearranged gives 'HADRIANS WALL'.

Can you help me to learn more?
