This is a new one made in the traditional way, clay then the stone on top to protect the clay. Limestone country cannot support ground water so they were essential for grazing land.ADRIANhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07113961163396562781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060152237863452651.post-53276693988620131332011-07-10T11:16:35.841+01:002011-07-10T11:16:35.841+01:00Thank you Adrian for these interesting photos and ...Thank you Adrian for these interesting photos and texts.
