I'm not so sure that taking rocks from a historical landmark is such a good
idea! Fortunately, in Scotland we have thousands of walls like it, the "dry
staine dikes" that most outdoor walls in the Scottish Highlands are made of.
They're just walls made of piles of stones without anything to hold them
together. Its very difficult to build a good one, but there seem to be
plenty of people in the Highlands good enough at it, because they're all
over the place. I'm always scanning them for black rocks when I'm out
hillwalking, so far without success.

I've no idea if they're as common in England or Wales though.
