@ReneeT Thank you! Actually they are quite regional in England, because large parts of the country don't have ready supplies of suitable stone lying around. In those areas, hedges were always used, and in some places there is a marked contrast within only a couple of miles or so, usually as you come away from hills onto plains.
This scene in on the Mendip Hills, in SW England. The soil on top of the hills is quite thin so the rock is easy to collect from very shallow pits.
@ArishMell Thank you for that photo. I've always loved to see scenes like this. I know they are not easy to build and people do take care in building them.
