Ancrum curved wall continued

I now have some photos from the second day of the build, and some from before I arrived on the first day - many thanks to Karl and Chris for these (see previous post for the bit in between!).

​This is the site at the start of the build - we'd been provided with a curved base of whin (I think) rubble to build on, but it took quite a bit of measuring to get the poles and lines in place.

And it seems they got on pretty rapidly without me on the Sunday, with the throughs going on by mid-morning.

And even some of the copes on before lunch.

By early afternoon just the remaining copes needed finished off.

And by mid afternoon the wall was complete.
