Morphology
The meaning 'a low circular wall' is directly derivable from combining 'ring' (circular formation) with 'wall' (a constructed barrier). This compositional structure is straightforward and follows common noun+noun compounding patterns found cross-linguistically, so a B1 learner who knows both words would readily understand the phrase.
Etymology
Ring wall comes from the image of a small ring of wall around a flower bed that holds the soil in and stops it washing away. So it means 'a low circular wall used in a garden'.
