$Some Facts about Irish Stone Walls\nWhy are there gaps in Irish stone walls?\nMany of the stone walls in the west and south of Ireland are known as ‘dry stone walls,’ meaning that they are made entirely without any mortar or other materials to help stick them together. As such, this leaves gaps between the stones, something tourists often notice as they drive past and can actually see the sky straight through them. Many of the walls here are quite ancient, and as such were made before the advent of or easy access to mortar and other cement-like materials to build them up.\nHow do they stand up then?\nWhile I’m not an expert wall-builder or stone mason myself, I have actually built a small section of stone wall here in the traditional style. Irish stone walls are made by carefully selecting the correct stones bit by bit as you progress onwards and upwards. One must ensure that each rock will properly be at rest within the wall, sitting still and balancing atop the last layer. Another thing I learned the hard way is that a common technique is to actually place the smallest stones along the bottom and then finish or ‘cap’ them with your larger and heavier rocks. Although seemingly counterintuitive at first, the downwards force of these larger rocks can help pack down the bottom layers, compressing them together and preventing them from moving or spilling. But yes, there’s a lot of trial and error as you go, especially when it’s your first time learning how to build an Irish stone wall.\n\nThis Picture is made during a Vacation to Ireland in July 2022. The Stone Walls are from the Aran Islands.$
