These are everywhere on Shetland. I laughed at it like “Haha! Look at these stupid sheep! Can’t cross that small part?”
Then I walked across one myself. I was humbled and reminded that I’m not that much more intelligent than a sheep.

We have them everywhere rural, even across regional highways here in Norway. Hell, there’s even one across the road to my local airport.
It’s an effective way of keeping cattle and sheep in an area even if said area is interjected by a road.

Ferist in Norwegian, at least. Translates roughly to “Cattle grid/rack”

In NL we call it a wildrooster, which roughly translates to “wild animal grate,” but more literally could be interpreted as “venison toaster.”
Also, its name then focuses on being for wild animals instead of cattle.
