Ok.  In that case I'd say 60-80% have that form.  I thought you mean the
actual
siege type walls :)

Barbarians would not likely have but the typical cow/horse walls.  Only a few
cutlures
on earth had really sophisticated ones.  The only 'barbarian' cultures i seem
to recall
were those in medieval england and the germans who had some type of siege
proof
walls at times.
