] No seriously--what's a ha ha? Clearly some sort of garden architecture or arrangement,but I want to know more.

] Any answers?

According to my edition of Mansfield Park, a ha-ha is a sunken fence, wall, or other boundary of a garden or park that is purposely made so it won't obstruct the scenic view.

I wonder how it got that name. It's really not that funny, after all... =)
