When one spends Shabbat in a field (bik'ah) and non-Jews erect partitions around it on Shabbat for purposes of habitation, does the person's Shabbat walking limit (techum) expand to include the entire enclosed area?
Synopsis
If non-Jews enclose a field with partitions on Shabbat itself, the person who spent Shabbat there did not dwell within the partitions at the onset of Shabbat. All authorities agree the partitions do not expand his techum — he is limited to his original 2,000-cubit radius.

May one carry objects throughout the entire Shabbat-day enclosed field (including beyond his 2,000-cubit techum) by throwing, even though he cannot walk there?

If non-Jews forcibly moved a person to a location beyond his 2,000-cubit techum that is within the Shabbat-day enclosed field, may he walk throughout that enclosed area?
