Although conventional bush hedges do exist in Cornwall, fields are more commonly demarcated by "Cornish Hedges", effectively a dry stone wall but composed of substantial, indeed often massive, blocks of granite cleared from the nearby fields. This one is relatively unusual in not being covered in earth and vegetation.
