Abstract
This paper looks at some of the challenges faced in the stabilization of ruins. It covers the approach to dealing with ruined masonry structures and the need to understand the structure before embarking on conservation strategies. It considers the process from initial survey through to the implementation of remedial works. Case studies are presented on a selection of ruined structures, including Piercefield House in South Wales, Astley Castle in Warwickshire, and sites in North Wales and Northern Ireland where in situ jacking techniques were used to stabilize the ruined masonry remains of St Malachy's Wall and Cymer Abbey. The works enabled these medieval structures to be protected with minimum intervention and avoided the need for alternative, more intrusive solutions.
