Well i suppose second best will do, at a pinchor even some of my own
no doubt it would be, but they were built that way for a reason. The stones are so big it would need to be a hell of a width, this would lead to running out of material for the length of the wall. The wall in the picture is about 500m long.Is that just one stone wide? surely it would be way more sturdy to make it two wide then put one on the top crossways.
They are what I call "rumblestones" been rumbled about in a glacier for a few million years, it's like trying to build with footballs.
If you put cattle in there would they push the wall over?
I fixed the end of this wall after it collapsed near the end of the big stone, this should give you an idea what most of the field walls are like over here @TexelBen. @Nithsdale Farmer
I drew some good stuff from an old derelict dyke on the other side of the field, the most our stone is round and horrible probably something like your own.Looks similar to whats here, reckon your stone is a little better for building maybe.
