  Dry-stone wall - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A dry-stone wall, dry-stone dyke or dry-stone hedge is a wall that is constructed from stones without any mortar to bind them together.
The wall is held up by a special construction method and by its own weight, and the stones must be carefully selected by shape to ensure that they have a large contact surface area with their neighbours and so do not slip.
Such constructions are common where large stones are plentiful (for example, in The Burren) or conditions are too harsh for hedges capable of retaining livestock to be grown as reliable field boundaries.
