I know of people who use existing stone walls, and repair them as needed. I
haven't heard of anyone recently building the miles of stone walls like they
used to for animals. If anyone is, thry probably don't have time to report
about it on the internet :-)
The Nearings constructed slipform stone/concrete walls that are faster and
stronger. It takes fewer stones, but you need concrete.
