Hey Folks, Im living in an old house and as we done a bit of digging in the garden we found quite a lot of old walls. We have now about 1000 Old stones in a pile.

There is a market for that kind of stone and I would advise to take a few pictures of it and advertise on local newspapers and sites like Donedeal.ie

Of course the price depends on the quality and type of the stone.

Tommy
