Andy Rodker club has replied to Doug Shepherd clubI've only ever seen it here, at Wheal Coates. I mention granite in the tags as this is a granite 'inselberg' but there are other rock types very close by and I suspect these walls near the mine were constructed from a variety of rocks.
There is only one open side to this wall. it is holding back the earth and rock on the other side.
Best wishes, Andy
Doug Shepherd club has replied to Andy Rodker clubAndy Rodker club has replied to Doug Shepherd clubExcept ... most of the miners were also farmers and came from farming stock and knew perfectly well how to build walls to suit many different circumstances.
I feel the answer may lie more in the particular nature of the stones they were working with and the specific requirements of the job in hand.
No-one around to ask, unfortunately!
Leon_Vienna club has replied to Andy Rodker clubBeautiful and interesting picture - perhaps you would like the Wachau-area, west of Vienna along Danube river. Granit of (well, I try) Böhmische Masse and lots of drystone-walls/terrasses ... not that artistic as yours in Britain, but still it works ... ;-)
Cheers.
