Drystone retaining walls are commonplace on the transport infrastructure in the UK in areas where building stone is readily available. Over the years many drystone retaining walls have been modified by various measures to increase their lives, and these modified structures are considered within this guide.

· Surveys of the stock of masonry-faced earth-retaining walls in five local authorities showed that there was about 93 km of such walls on the 1475 km or so of trunk roads within the boundaries of these authorities.

· Drystone retaining walls are sustainable engineering structures constructed with locally obtained natural stone. They were commonly built with very slender profiles compared with modern mass-masonry structures, leading to a common belief among engineers that they have very low margins of safety. These structures remain critical to

· Plan out the wall's height and base thickness. For every 1 foot in height, you'll want to lay the base a foot in from the wall's face. Prepare a solid foundation or base. Dig out a trench of at least 6-10 inches. This firmly plants the base into the ground below, which helps prevent movement over time.

· A limit-equilibrium analysis program has been developed as part of an investigation into the stability of drystone retaining structures. Initial verification of the program's function was in relation to field trials conducted in 1834 by Lieutenant-General Burgoyne, which have been the main reference to date for checking numerical modelling

The usual width allowed is 4’6″ (1.3m) from the base of the wall or bank to the far side of the ditch. However, this ‘custom of the country’ may not necessarily be followed by a court of law.
