There's no chance that he'll step on a grave.  Graves are well marked, 
and if he sticks to the path he won't step on them.  A fence allows him 
to come within four amos of them.

Simple.  He's walking on the path. But the path comes within four amos 
of graves.  Without a fence he might be maahil over a grave; with a 
fence he's on one side, the grave is on the other, so no part of him can 
be over it.
