Definitions

A stone frame is a load-bearing structure or supporting framework composed of naturally occurring stone in some form. It may consist of precision-cut or rough-cut stone pieces, or uncut rocks as found in nature. The stones or stone pieces may be stacked together, usually with mortar, or held in place by formwork and compiled loosely until the mortar holding them dries.
