DRY STONE WALLING
Dry stone walling – General Preamble: In rural areas where natural stone
is a traditional material, it may be possible to
use dry stone walling or dyking as an
alternative to fences or brick walls. Many local
authorities are willing to meet the extra cost of
stone walling in areas of high landscape
value, and they may hold lists of available
craftsmen. DSWA Office, Westmorland County

concrete foundations.
