Since black Gondor brick should technically be invincible, like Orthanc and the first wall of Minas Tirith, but the Ring of Isengard was not. My suggestion would be that Uruk brick be renamed Isengard brick (to fit the new faction name, rather than the predominant race of the faction), and the ring and road be replaced with said brick. ''A great ring-wall of stone, like towering cliffs, stood out from the shelter of the mountain-side, from which it ran and then returned again. One entrance only was there made in it, a great arch delved in the southern wall. Here through the black rock a long tunnel had been hewn, closed at either end with mighty doors of iron. They were so wrought and poised upon their huge hinges, posts of steel driven into the living stone, that when unbarred they could be moved with a light thrust of the arms, noiselessly. One who passed in and came at length out of the echoing tunnel, beheld a plain, a great circle, somewhat hollowed like a vast shallow bowl: a mile it measured from rim to rim.''

Also, I suggest making the Ring of Isengard with black rock (thanks Lord of Minas Morgul) instead of stone bricks (maybe even a new kind of special rock, like those in Utumno perhaps?) and protected by an Iron Gate. I know that the gates have a sort of maximum size, so the height of the wall should be adjusted to that limit if necessary.

the ring of isengard was not made out of anything special, as the ents were ale to rip it up easily. A gate would be nice tho.
