A 'Lunky Hole' in a drystone wall
Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: A 'Lunky Hole' in a drystone wall. I initially thought that the purpose of this strange feature was to let rabbits and other wildlife pass through. However, in his book "Dry Stone Walling" by Colonel F. Rainsford-Hannay, he describes a 'Lunky Hole' as 'a small rectangular opening sometimes made at the bottom of the dyke, to let water through and as a passage for sheep'. The small slit is not big enough to let a sheep through, but maybe the stones at the far side can be hauled out of the way? |
