Stone wall insulation??

    Was viewing an old stone cottage today that had stopped renovation work on it about a decade ago. It hasn't been lived in or heated for that time. The external stone walls about 18in thick had an earlier 1in internal plaster ( probably cement) kept insitu.
    In the renovation external walls were newly plastered (v.probally cement).
    From what I could gather from a small gap....The plaster internally was studded with 4&1/2 " timber with 1" bead board followed by 3or4" of rock wool loft type insulation and then plasterboard.
    Both the bead board and rock wool seemed to have a bit of room/they weren't tight up against each other or the old plaster .
    Now there isn't a hint of dampness on the stone wall or anywhere else. And I'm wondering will that change when the house is heated again ? Or what's the story atall atall?
    Many thanks.
