What is the purpose of a walled area in the vicinity of Heathrow Airport?

$begingroup$
Looking at a satellite map to the East of Heathrow Airport, there is a small passenger jet parked in a walled off area. Looking at the aerodrome chart the entire area is listed as Bealine Base, which I assume is used for BA operations. What it the purpose of this walled off area?

The suggested-as-duplicated is not the same thing. This is an engine run facility, with 3 walls to contain not just jet blast but also noise. What's in the not-really-a-duplicate question is just a wall to protect an area from jet blast. These engine run facilities have far more structure than the jet-blast barriers.

It allows them to do a run-up test of the engines without blowing debris at other parked aircraft, people, or things on the ground.
[Credit to Ralph J]
The walls have a structure that allows the noise of engine run-ups to be absorbed as well. Engine run-ups, especially multi-engine run ups, can be very loud.
You can read more about IAC-Acoustics ground run-up enclosures here.
