 Dry
stone walling is an ancient craft using only stone with no mortar
to build them. Dry stone walls are a culturally important human
contribution to the landscape and the craftsmanship used to build
Drystone walls and buildings has developed for thousands of years
- from the buildings of Newgrange in Ireland, the Brochs of the
Celts, and around the world from Egypt, Japan and South America
to the turf walls of Iceland. The craft is now being utilised in
sculpture and modern buildings where its character and strong visual
impact is reaching a new audience.
