main image Stone dyke, Killin, Perthshire
This dyke is built in dry stone but has a turf cope. It is one of several such dykes seen in the area.

Feal (turf) dykes were being used long before stone came into widespread use, though they had to be repaired more frequently. The turf could be cut nearby and little skill was required in building.
