Piperska muren???
I have no idea, but google has this and some more:
The History of Piperska Muren
Piperska Muren was during the 17th Century one of Stockholm's most magnificent ore estates. It was originally the residence of count Carl Piper, one of king Karl XII's closest advisors, who bought the house in 1694. Count Piper had great plans for his estate and was determined to set out the most splendid garden on Kungsholmen with sculptured plants and hedges, orangeries and spring wells. However, count Piper did not fulfil his plans. He joined Karl XII in the war, was captured during the battle of Poltava and died in a Russian prison. His wife, Christina Törnflycht, continued to work on the garden. In 1702, she built a high brick wall around the estate, which in colloquial language was named ***Piperska Muren (Piper’s wall). ****

reef
It would seem to be a reef or a canal of interest to divers in the Cayman's (and known as "Piper's Wall"). Your context wd point to it being a reef.

This gives you a detailed visual description:
"the site unveils large canyons adorned with the black coral, sea fans and the strawberry sponges. A narrow chasm at the site takes the diver through a magnificent garden filled with the purple sea fans and the yellow tube sponges, "

I wonder if "my" wall was named after "Henry's"...!
