Walls and Terraces

Everywhere we went were walls and ancient terraces hand built out of mortarless stacked rocks.

They were everywhere on the side of most mountains and hills. They presently seemed to serve no purpose. I don't know the history, but I suspect they once supported olive trees or some other crop. However, it is hard to imagine what could grow in such a dry climate and poor soil.
