Right - I don't want to destroy the history, I just want to prevent
future work from being performed on that branch. More to prevent
accidental updates to it than anything else.

It defeats version control, but can't you remove all versions on the
branch and then remove the branch tag itself? That is of course only if
the branch was just for some work and the work is now in the trunk.
