Probably a Guardian Pig Set Piece. You may find them sometimes. I got mine with grass  instead of berry bushes, the materials being protected are random. Sometimes that set piece may surround the pig king, in that case the guardian pigs actually allow you to trade with the king if it's daytime instead of chasing you.

Interestingly, placing your base camp just out of reach of their aggro radius is a great idea since they guard the set piece day and night and are aggresive towards almost everything. You may easily lure hound waves, spiders and any other enemy towards them. They hit hard, have more life than a normal pig, have kiting mechanic themselves and will respawn if killed as long as their torch is left intact.

Just keep track of the Cycle Moon Cycle(when you expect full moon, make a normal campfire two or three screens away, or use a tent or sleeping roll, small price to pay for a 24x7 private security otherwise).
