What is a name for a short wall besides a “short wall or low wall”. Some times a design will have a short/low wall say between two spaces as a divider, under a counter et. al. and it just does’t seem right to call it that. A short wall means it is not a long wall. I don’t like to call it a low wall either. I know it is not a Knee wall but there ought to be a neat name like that, that would better describe it. Anyone?

PONY WALL I like it. I knew that there had to be a name for it. Thanks to all.
How about Knee-wall?
