What was used to surround and protect the Barracks on the Island?
Statues built by an ancient tribe of natives
A high-frequency sonar barrier
The Sonic Barrier surrounds the Barracks and blocks any attempt to pass through them. If a person tries to enter through the field a sonic wave is emitted which results in the individual suffering a cerebral hemorrhage. The fence can be deactivated using a code which was changed every day (according to the orientation film a young Ben and Roger watched upon arrival to the island). The fence intensity seemed to be controllable at a continuous scale going from red to green to black, where green was presumably a repelling but less harmful effect.
