Did it in Google AI and got this:Ha! I just gave this question to ChatGPT and even after asking it again, no answer cometh forth.
what is the name for the fine stones and dust used to bind stones together in a dry-stone wall
Hearting and pinnings are a couple of terms but others are available.
The material you are referring to is known as hearting (commonly used in Scotland and Northern England) or filling.
Additionally, the crushed stone fragments and fine dust itself are frequently referred to as quarry fines, stone dust, or pinnings when wedged directly into the exterior gaps.
Add: it then went on to give an explanation of how it works...
