How do you build stone walls like those in Ireland?
The type of stone walls that you are talking about are those often seen built between fields in Ireland. As well as dividing the land, another reason was to remove the large stones in the ground, to make the land more suitable for farming. The walls are built without any mortar, and are known as dry stone walls. The stone wall builders choose their stones carefully so that they fit and will remain in place, despite their varying size and shape from each other. They are often not like bricks or square, often being rounded, making it more difficult to build with them. This often means searching through the stones they have in order to find ones to suit their needs. The techniques used to build sturdy walls are developed over time and with experience.

But a cannonball can knock holes in your stone walls, and then knock down the walls themselves. After the development of cannons and artillery, "castles" changed shape; the new "anti-artillery castle" was the star fort, where you could position your OWN cannons to knock back the cannons that were shooting at you.
