Mt. Derrimut dry stone walls - Physical Description 1
Substantial dry stone wall averaging 1.5 metre high with a more than 2 metre high section flanking the main entrance. This has been reconstructed several times and is only partly of skilled construction. The walls taper gradually from the driveway, and also curve inwards by about 90 degrees towards the driveway. The face of the wall has achieved a quite regular surface considering the very irregular form of the individual boulders. The wall is therefore also uncoursed, and features a mix of roughly round weathered fields stone (indicating the rock collected from the surface of the ground) and some larger angular blocks, probably dug from the ground in areas which were cultivated. The coping stones are only slightly larger than the average of those used in the wall.
