The rubble seems to be a mixture of natural rock and lumps of slag; in some pieces of the latter gas bubbles can be seen Image The brick capping may have been simply to raise the height of the wall, but it may be to protect the original lime mortar (presumed) from the weather. Guessing, the wall has been repointed with modern cement mortar.
