Moderately hydraulic lime

Moderately hydraulic limes are hydraulic limes, which develop moderate strengths when combined into a mortar. 

Natural hydraulic limes have traditionally been classified in three categories feebly hydraulic, moderately hydraulic, and eminently hydraulic. 

Samples of original mortar from the core of the walls and the pointing moitar were sent to the Scottish Lime Center for analysis in 2000. The core mortar was deemed to be composed of a moderately hydraulic Ume binder and a moderately fine-grained aggregate. Replication of this core mortar would be straightforward since lime putty, hot-mixed mortar, and NHL are routinely kept on hand.
