Richie, probably this wall was constructed a very long time ago, but it's still intact. Proofs that the builders knew their profession.
Now it's a decorative element of your composition.

If you think you can't accept something, try to change it. But if this doesn't work, don't be frustrated, but give it later another try. The one who perseveres wins! Please CLICK HERE to see my journal! Feel free to save my images or to add them to your favorites.

The oldest surviving dry stone walls (those built without the use of concrete or mortar) in Britain are to be found in Skara Brae in Orkney, Scotland. These walls are thought to be about 3,500 years old. Very early field boundaries are important because they serve as a record of a crucial moment in the history of mankind. They mark the transition from a nomadic and hunting-based lifestyle to a farming-based existence, so their relevance cannot be underestimated. Most very old walls are actually ^clearance walls,^ in that they were made from stones that were first cleared from the land in order for agriculture to take place, and they tend to mark the boundaries of small, ancient fields.

The Romans, of course, built extended for a different reason; this one looks a bit like a miniature Hadrian. Here in my part of the U.S. we have a penchant for building barriers over hills, except ours are usually three strands of barbed wire. Easier to fling dried cow patties thru them to the neighbors property.
