I was asked by a visitor from mainland Europe as to why so much of the small land available on the island was wasted with the big stoned walls around them. Any ideas ?
They cleared the stone from the land to make it farmable so they needed to do something with it and the walls provide both a boundary and some shelter from the wind for small animals

It’s good to look at but really does waste a lot of land , especially the really small fields
Suppose so… but all the field is actually reclaimed I suppose

Wasnt it to prevent wind erosion whipping all the topsoil they needed for farming/growing what bit they could?

Haven’t a clue pal , There’s about 3 different explanations to what it was for here alone 
I often find people done things in the past for very good reasons and people nowadays are very dismissive of this.
It’s why the derby should be ran on a Wednesday.
