Tag:wall=stone

A stone wall wall=stone is a wall constructed from stones with mortar used to bind them together. The stones used may be irregular in size. Historically, the stones used would often have been sourced locally but now may come from across the globe.

How to tag

barrier=wall is the primary tag and wall=stone should be used to tag the type of wall as a stone wall.

How to map

Create a line along the length of the stone wall. Where a stone wall joins another stone wall use a shared node. If there are substantial gaps in the wall then end that line, leave a gap and create a new way for the next section. Mark a gate of stile in the wall by creating a node on the way at the appropriate location and tagging it with barrier=gate or barrier=stile or similar. For a short gap consider using a barrier=entrance node.

For other types of barriers that are not a stone wall (including hedges, ditches and fences) see barrier=*.

Alternative tagging

Mappers may alternatively chose to map a stone wall as barrier=wall, material=stone.

The wall=stone_wall tag is also used in an analogous manner to wall=stone:
