Answer

How long does a dry stone wall last?

Generations, often a century or more, when built properly.

In short

A well-built dry stone wall lasts for generations, often a century or more, which is why so many old ones still stand across the Cotswolds. The skill is in the building: the right stone, footings, batter and coping. Done properly it outlasts almost anything else in the garden.
