In the middle of the lowest section and highest point of the work I left a temporary gap of 3m. I did this for two reasons. It was difficult to judge whether or not I had enough material and that being the tallest section would consume the most furze. I reckoned that I would be maybe 10 faggots short the amount that it would take to fill the gap. After a few calls to make sure I could get hold of some more furze cut around the same time I pressed on with constructing the second half. The other reason was that it acted as a fire break. In reality fire would more than likely have jumped that distance or at least the heat would have ignited it. But it seemed right to incorporate that that kind of thinking or approach in construction as it mirrored the procedure used in creating fire break control on heath land. As it turned out my estimations regarding material was bang on [to my relief] and instead I chose to use green furze in flower to emphasise this reference to a fire break.
