Dry stone or loose stone walls are commonly used as field boundaries in the highlands, such as the Yorkshire Dales and the North York Moors.
A dry-stone wall is a wall that is made up of stones skill-fully placed one on top of the other with no binding agent to hold them together.
The wall is held up by a special construction method and by its own weight, and the stones must be carefully selected by shape to ensure that they have a large contact surface area with their neighbours and so do not slip.
Containing sheep in specific fields is the main reason for the existence of dry stone walls.
Also, they are a thing of beauty, they last much longer than 'wet' walls, and they're safer than fences when it comes to herding in wildlife.
Besides, what else is there to do with all those stones cluttering up the countryside?
The moors are bleak, the higher you go the less vegetation there is, nothing to stop the wind, wet walls would not stand a chance, but now the wind just ‘whistles’ through the stones!
Wishing you all a beautiful day and thank you for visiting, Magda, (*_*)
