In some extremely rocky areas where it's virtually impossible to dig/bore postholes, I've seen folks build a circular 'crib' of woven wire, 3-4 ft in diameter, filled in with stones/rocks as an anchoring point for wire fences.
Heavy and sturdy enough that it won't move significantly, no matter how much tension is applied.
USDI Bureau of Land Management & USDA Forestry Service Technology & Development Program used to publish a "Fences" handbook, which covered many different techniques of fence-building, encompassing board, woven & barbed wire, and electrified high-tensile, with good drawings/photos of brace assemblies, construction of wire cribs, etc.
