At the end of Haemar Shame, behind the statue, there seems to be a short cut to exit that is barred by spears.

Is there a way to use that short cut?

According to the UESP article about Haemar's Shame:

[The shortcut exit] is blocked off by spears, with a chain on the right that lowers the spears.
