Cob: putting stones in wall that stick out?

[yellsap at sirius.com]

Hi Randy,

I have a book that shows a house in England that has rock shingles attached to the cob for this purpose sort of like a roof but not so many of them as that.  It is definately a roofing technique that was used on the side of the house that the rain blew on to.

Does anyone have a picture of "putting stones in a wall that stick out" to
limit the rain's contact with wall, and how far an eave should overhang the
wall to do the same?

"Much better are the ideas of putting a roof on the
wall with an overhang and putting stones in it that stick out."
