Farming techniques, specifically in the area of plowing, keep going deeper and deeper into the soil, of course the deeper you go the more rocks you're going to pull up over time. The first few clearings of rocks was sufficient to keep the fields rock free for hundreds of years, then we developed machines that could dig deeper, and more machines that dug deeper still, now we have plow machines that go deeper than the plows of old could ever dream of. I'm not certain if they are going to keep up this trend or not, I do know a lot of areas are starting to ban plowing too deep into the soil, for various reasons, some archaeological, some environmental.

The idea that the double drystone wall works to prevent water penetration and retain heat efficiently is very interesting! With the size and mass of the surviving ruins, these must have had a defensive function but perhaps the unique design began as a double-walled roundhouse with a timber/thatch conical roof over both walls and gaps at the top of the inside wall. Dark, except for the ever-present fire, but no penetration of wind and wet to the interior. If so, why didn't this design endure? Do we know when mortaring stonework, which would have enabled weatherproof single walls, began in Scotland? Certainly later medieval castles and towers had the same purposes of shelter and defense, with heavy single walls... which could have windows. Where I grew up in southeastern US state of Pennsylvania, I could observe drystone construction but never in dwellings even from the earliest colonial period.

It kind of bothers me that the broch is always depicted with that odd conical roof which would always funnel rainwater into the area between inner and outer wall. Who in his right mind would do that? I would always expect someone going through the trouble of building a sophisticated structure like that to design a roof that actually keeps the water outside the walls.
@Padraigp Жыл бұрын
In a low house with one wall it makes sense to have the Eames overhang but since the two walls converge at the top of these tall buildings it wouldnt make much sense to have an overhang of roof. In the smaller dwellings they had wooden pósta to hang the tibers for the roof and could overhang them to keep the outer walls dry. In these there would be nó need to bring the roof down low over the entire building. And a slightly overhang would not do anything to keep the outer walls dry. Unless it went half way down the building which would be an enormous overhang. The outer walls already form a sort of roof for themsleves by sloping inwards towards the top. And then like a stack of hay which is conical in shape all you need is a small roof on top and that direct it down. I don't think what we are seeing here is a roof that allows. Rain in between the walls the walls would have cinverged near the top and the roof would have covered the inner wall and possibly used the outer wall edge to rest on. The weight of the roof must be held by uprights ...were the roof to press on the sloped walls rather than the straight inner walls they would press that wall outward with the pressure. So it would make sense within the laws of phsicics to rest the Raftery on thr inner uupright walls not the sloped outer walls. And of course Thatcher is very thick...it has to be put there by a man. Who has to stand somehwere as he Thatches the roof. Or she. As often needs must be the case. So having the outwar wall top to stand on would be handy. I think these drawing show a rsther thin looking Thatcher Thatcher can bé six foot deep. But it would not need any overhang nor would it be nor is it ever sensible to overdo something which adds nó value. Plenty of towers in the world made without overhanging soffits. One of the main reasons they have an overhang in lower cob buildings is be3cause cob gets wearhered. This is made of stone which wont get weathered. Cob and wood also need to be kept dry. This is stone. And theres no way youre going to dry out stone. So there would be nó point to adding a soffit.theres already the sloped wall to take water down and away on the outside and all it needs is a little cap. Not to mention how high up it is to have to deal with an overhang which is fine on ground level. And possibly the wind would not like it. It seems more likely you would want to protect the roof with the wall going above the roof edges than vice Versa. Imo anyway.
