    Thanks for posting this video. My wife and I visited Ireland. We come from Wisconsin, which is very agricultural as you know. I had many questions about the walls. Mostly I think I was seeing what you referred to as consumption walls and they interested be the most as they seemed to be in all the fields. I was told they were meant to clear the fields of rock, and I did help clear the fields on my grandfathers farm every spring. He would have a trailer on the back of his plow tractor and we'd throw them on the wagon and then we'd unload them onto a pile on the edge of the field. In Ireland they told us these walls were called penny walls because the workers were paid a penny a day to construct them, any truth to that?

    partout ou étaient des paysans, ils ramassaient les pierres pour pouvoir labourer ou créer des pâtures ; ils avaient le temps, nous pas.
