17th-century New England farmers moved a mind-staggering amount of stone to build walls – an estimated 240,000 miles of barricades, most stacked thigh-high and similarly wide.
You forget that the obverse of the walls is the cleared fields between. Clearing the filedstone was necessary for cultivation, surely.
