For some reason, this reminds me of that Historian that reviews movies and stuff and talks about how everyone should dig ditches to fight off the enemy. Every movie where they need to defend. Dig ditches.

More to the point, uneven terrain is an obstacle, and digging ditches to build a berm is a logistically cheap and technologically uncomplicated way to produce it.
