This tendency to lay courses of stones at a shallow diagonal seems to be a local tradition, as I saw several walls in the area with a similar style. Earlier in my walk I said good morning to someone dry-stone-walling as I passed by, but he appeared to be laying his courses conventionally (i.e. horizontally).
