If it looks like the line of division at http://ace.heraldry.ansteorra.org/letter/view/6#12 then the term is "embattled grady". Note the documentation for "a fess embattled grady betressed" below.
William de Molay. Device. Per bend embattled grady Or and gules, in sinister chief a martlet sable.
Regarding the line of division, Albion noted "Raneke has various examples of what I would blazon a fess embattled grady bretessed, per bend embattled grady, per bend sinister embattled grady, and per fess embattled grady, all dating in the 14th-15th C." Therefore, this line of division is acceptable. We decline to rule at this time whether or not a CD should be granted between this line of division and indented. (LoAR, April 2008, A-Ansteorra)

Two questions: how does one describe an ordinary that is both 'battled
embattled' and 'bretessed'? Is it the obvious combination of terms?
Is battled embattled considered a SFPP?
