gdn - dry stone walling

A composite of Northumbrian & Pennine versions of dry stone walling methods.

I would like to have added a little more height, but I was running out of suitable stones. I had to be parsimonious with the "throughs" in order to have enough "copes" [the top ones] and even then I had to lay them over a bit to manage to deal with the full length of this section. Probably my inexperience as this is the first wall I've built with these methods & materials.

The area immediately adjacent on the far side of the wall, is a "wetland" / boggy area with a small pond. Although the grass has been cut, I have yet to trim the edge by the wall and the whole area is still in "winter mode".
