Probably as figs are often planted in a stone lined pit to restrict them. There is a very old one in the grarden of Wilberforce House in Hull and there is a mature tree in close proximity.

just keep it away from the wall a bit because of the footings to the wall.

Nosey's advice is good - plant the rootball a minimum of a foot, preferably 18 inches, away from the wall, lean the plant back against the wall to train it there. The bottom of a wall is a very dry place to be. If you're worried about water supply, insert a short length (about 2 feet) of piping (anything like gutter pipe, plastic waste pipe, with a bore of not less than 2 inches) when planting - angle the bottom end next to the root ball, back fill with soil, leave the pipe sticking up and water through the pipe, keeping it topped up during hot weather.
