Large flatter boulders

Boulder wall is a type of single wall in which the wall consists primarily of large boulders. The largest stones are being placed at the bottom and the whole wall tapers toward the top. Sometimes a row of cap-stones completes the wall, with the long rectangular side of each cap-stone perpendicular to the wall alignment.

Double wall is composed of large flattish stone and is built up layer-by-layer. Large tie-stones are placed at intervals which span both faces of the wall. These have a bonding effect, greatly increasing the strength of the wall. The final layer on the top consists of large cap-stones, span the entire width of the wall and prevent it breaking apart.

The typical Cornish Hedge has an earth core, faced each side with local stones, topped by turf, scrub, or trees. They are usually tapered with an inward curve from the base to half-way up. As with many other varieties of wall, the height is the same as the width of the base, and the top is half the base width. This is vital for the stability of the hedge structure.
