Structurally they are working in very different ways and I wouldn't have
thought that it would take much wind load to risk damaging the
wall. This
might account for the lack of replies to your question.

This happened near me. The 3ft brick wall came down in one piece off its
raised plinth and fell onto the pavement. Luckily there was no-one
underneath.

Andy

can I guess the posts were attached to the wall tops with bolt down
met post things?

how high was the fence and what construction? panels, hit & miss ??

I would just forget the whole idea of fixing a fence to the wall. Railing
on top of a wall are fine as they put relatively little wind load on but a
fence, even a "hit and miss" design is a veritable sail.

Of course without pictures, dimensions or construction details of your wall
we're all guessing really.

As I didn't build it there are construction details as such -
However as you ask it's approx 1m tall built of coursed stone, approx
12 inch total wall width, thick stone copings as described in the OP.

I have no pictures - what is it you would need to see?

Unlikely in what you describe, but a dpc is a weak point in a straight
wall.
