Semi Circular arch niche
A stone arch niche built into a hill side with spring water to face. This niche is actually carved into the hillside in Liverpool where water seeps.

Stone bridge piers
Given the open face joints this isnt a true dry stone wall. It is cemented at the rear to hold the structure together.

Ribbon pointed stone bridge
Here typical stone structure ribbon pointed to give the appearance of a more flat structure.
Probably built late 1800s it still stands besides the very harsh conditions

Stone barn done in slate
This was more than likely not dry stone finish at first but pointed and like many of the local stone buildings the pointing has failed leaving the joints exposed. Given the slate mines nearby I assume its all slate based stone.
