DESCRIPTION
Details (Known As) Dry Stone Walling
Registered Name Dry Stone Walling
Significance A fine example of dry-stone walling which is (or was) used extensively in the southern part of Yorke Peninsula last century. Wall construction was commonly undertaken when clearing the land in preparation for cultivating cereal crops. These walls comprise an outer section of large rocks and the centre is filled in with smaller material. This style of construction differs from that of the Mount Lofty Ranges and Eyre Peninsula where surface rock was used, not stone brought to the surface during clearance operations. (Yorke Peninsula Heritage Survey 1997)

Disclaimer

While due care has been taken to ensure that the SA Heritage Places Database accurately reflects the South Australian Heritage Register and listings of Local Heritage Places in Development Plans, the State of South Australia does not accept liability for the use of the SA Heritage Database for any purpose. Users should consult the Department for Environment and Water - Heritage South Australia to confirm the listing of State Heritage Places and the relevant Development Plan for Local Heritage Places/Contributory Items.

In the majority of cases, the maps of State Heritage Places on this web site show the footprints of the most significant structures on a registered Place. However, sometimes they simply indicate the complete area of land comprising the Place. Work is proceeding to further refine the mapping of such places. It is also important to note that development control is not limited to the registered structures but extends to their setting and structures nearby (what is termed ‘development affecting’ a State Heritage Place). Hence it is vital that exact details of the listed place and implications for any proposed development be discussed with Heritage South Australia staff, as they cannot be deduced solely from the information on this web site. The inclusion of a place in the SA Heritage Register gives no right of public access. Permission to visit properties must be sought from the owners. The accuracy of the mapping of State Heritage Places is not guaranteed. Please contact Heritage SA ( https://www.environment.sa.gov.au/topics/heritage/sa-heritage-register) if you believe there is an error.
