Nice pictures!

I assumed that in order to corbel the roof you would need to use pretty large stones as they need to be big enough to overlap with each other, whereas the lower courses are built vertically so can use smaller stones. Not sure if that's right, perhaps Wideford would be a better person to ask as he knows a lot about drystone walling.


Sorry to butt in but it may just be to do with the reconstuction, the higher you get the more of a reconstuction it is, and they never seem as neat as the original builders job, sorry if you intended this chat to be private but i didn't know this site was like that!


No no, not private at all. Sorry didn't mean to give that impression.
