Stone walls are a remarkable and historic feature of the Irish landscape, varying in design and construction from county to county. As well as being functional, they have become as much part of the Irish experience for tourists as thatched cottages. This book gives the history of Irish stone walls, showing the uses of stone in Ireland through the ages in walls and buildings, from loose stone walls to cut stone. There is also a how-to section to help you build or restore your own stone wall.
