aita An artificial barrier, variously constructed, over which athletes or horses jump in a race (for example the 100 metres hurdles).
(senseid)A perceived obstacle.
A movable frame of wattled twigs, osiers, or withes and stakes, or sometimes of iron, used for enclosing land, for folding sheep and cattle, for gates, etc.; also, in fortification, used as revetments, and for other purposes.
1882, James Edwin Thorold Rogers, A History of Agriculture and Prices in England, Volume 4, page 414.

The practice of folding sheep was general, and the purchase of hurdles was a regular charge in the shepherd's account.

In treason, the corporal punishment is by drawing on hurdle from the place of the prison to the place of execution, and by hanging and being cut down alive, bowelling, and quartering: and in women by burning.

Behind flock'd wrangling up a piteous crew, / Greeted of none, disfeatur'd and forlorn— / Cowards, who were in sloughs interr'd alive: / And round them still the wattled hurdles hung / Wherewith they stamp'd them down, and trod them deep, / To hide their shameful memory from men.

He hurdled the bench in his rush to get away.
