			Where I live, which was first settled by Europeans nearly 400 years ago, there are many extent stone walls snaking all over, even through second-growth woods.  The lore is that the soil is so rocky that the walls were a disposal method, in effect; something had to be down with all the rocks removed from the earth to make it suitable for farming, so why not build a wall?
