The stone walls that are found throughout New England are some of the most important and beautiful walls ever built. These walls were used for anything from animal pounds, to boundary lines to animal fencing. In the nineteenth century, when a stone wall was finished it needed to be inspected by a fence viewer. A fence viewer was a municipal worker that would inspect fences to make sure that they are structurally sound. If a stone wall was deemed sound, then the owner was not liable for damage done to his crops by other farmer`s animals.
