Since when?  All we have a law (YD 371:5) that a cohen may not come 
within four amos of a grave unless there is a fence or trench between 
them; so now there is one.  Who says the fence has to belong to the 
grave?  If someone just happened to be buried next to a fence that was 
already there, or if someone were to build a fence and then happen to 
discover a grave next to it, could a cohen not stand on the other side 
of it?!
