DON'T CLICK THIS: This video gives an intense explanation on Taking Off Quantities for Stone Wall. In case you are not familiar with stone, read on to get a simple explanation of the Rubble wall.
Rubble is broken stone of irregular size, shape and texture; undressed especially as a filling-in. Rubble naturally found in the soil is known also as 'brash'. Where present, it becomes more noticeable when the land is ploughed or worked.
Rubble walls are used to serve as borders between the property of one farm from the other. A great advantage that rubble walls offered is that when heavy rainfalls, their structure would allow excess water to pass through and therefore, excess water will not ruin the products. Soil erosion is minimised as the wall structure allows the water to pass through, but it traps the soil and prevents it from being carried away from the field. One can see many rubble walls on the side of the hills and in valleys where the land slopes down, and consequently, the soil is in greater danger of being carried away.
