dry stone wall

the stone walls around the Creeslough area are mainly dry stone walls and look incredible.   That is Muckish Mountain in the bsckground.  We were walking to Doe Castle which is a few miles from here.

  3. And all picked up by hand, sorted and laid back in the wall. Real sisyphus labor.

  4. That looks a good bit of walling, great to see that they are being maintained still. There are lots of dry stone walls in the north of England but none near me.

    1. They still build them today. There is a school you can attend to learn the trade.

  18. I am absolutely loving your pictures. All the green with the mountain backdrop and the stone wall sure made me smile. I don't see nearly that much green where I live.

  22. Nice. There are stone walls around all the old estates in my area. They are usually not quite as tall as the ones in your post.
