Sculptured limestone dry wall

Limestone rubble dry wall
At last it appears someone has had a go with lime sand; I think.
You see in some of the more alluvial some remenants of clay which gave us some of the peach lime mortar we see today.
Ash left over from the slaking in the lime sand would have knocked back the brightness but I also like to dash it aggregates to give it more the biscuit colour of origin both wet and dry.

Recycled stone feature dwarf entrance wall

Here a maspn has used stones from cemetry with some jewels installed into the wall.  A great outcome
