no mortar, no metal: a dyke is loose stone stacked well, and it drops back to loose stone when it comes down. the blocks connect like vanilla walls do, in cobble and in riverstone's river cobble, and a creeper topples a section by vanilla's own rules rather than by any special case.

two things make it a field wall instead of a fence. a stile you cross without suffocating, and a hogg-hole that is genuinely a hole — small things path straight through it, stock respects the wall, and the shepherd gets a gate that never needs a hinge. since 1.1.0 the dykes carry the mossy tag, so northmoss films them like any other long-standing stone.
