No. Fences didn't come into use until much later.

Yes. Medieval people fenced their pastures and meadows from their crops to prevent animals from eating the plants as they grew. The manorial officer who was responsible for the fences and other enclosures was called a hayward. Among the hayward's duties was to alert people if the animals got loose.

There is a link below to the history section of an article on fences. Though it does not have much information, it does have a photograph of a reproduction of a medieval fence made of wattle, or woven sticks.
