stone fences
Dry stacked boundaries
Stone fences are walls built from stacked stones without mortar, common in rural New England and other regions where farmers cleared rocky fields.
The stones served double duty—removed from tillable land and repurposed as boundary markers and livestock barriers.
Miles of old stone fences still crisscross the Connecticut countryside.
Also called stone walls or dry stone walls.
