Answer

Dry stone or mortared wall: which is better?

Dry stone for character and longevity; mortared for retaining and where strength is needed.

In short

Dry stone is laid without mortar, suits the local character and lasts for generations; a mortared wall is quicker for some jobs and right for retaining or where extra strength is needed. We advise which suits the wall, the setting and the budget.
