Cheers Rob,Flar and Brickell.
@Bedhead...they have more gaps and seem less well built than normal stone walls but they are so sturdy and are just one rock stacked on another...all limestone in this area...




Nearby Arann Islands on googlemaps..wallaholics.

Amazing shots. Cool how Ireland can appear to be an alien landscape.
