Ah! - I suspect that this won't help me as his bricks are too regular for a
dry-stone wall (or at least of the type I'm trying to create).

I didn't looked at his macro (perhaps it is pigment) but You can use centers
of cells and dimensions as radius, then create isosurface and adjust
turbulencing.

Well, skipping a) and b) and looking only at the image, it looks like
you have a mismatched loop somewhere. It goes across but not up. I will take
a few more minutes to look it over but so far your method befuddles* me.
*Remembering that I am easily befuddled by math-like thingies.

#while(ThisLen <= WallLen & ThisHi <= WallHi)
Doesn't the above fail as soon as one of the conditions are met?
Shouldn't they be in two statements, one repeating until the other fails?

Trace hits all of the stones in the first row, because they are all stacked
in a straight line. On subsequent rows, the trace is only hitting
occasionally. One miss starts you back on the ground.

Ah! I think that's it - it should be an "or" rather than an "and". Ta.

Hmm, no I think that's alright. At any rate, it's intended.... I think Bill has
spotted it.

Your stones will go on for a very long distance this way.

Yes - Bill's pointed out the problem, but I'm still working on the solution. I
don't think there's a perfect solution using this method, except to try
different random seeds. However, it's starting to look like it might produce
some nice results.... Hopefully I'll have a second image post RSN.

I'm still confident that it is the trace problem. Leave your code exactly as
it is in your post except for the following lines, and you will see what I
mean.
#declare XScale = 1;//rand(Rand1)*2 + 0.5;
#declare YScale = 1;//rand(Rand1)*2 + 0.5;
#declare ZScale = 1;//rand(Rand1)*2 + 0.5;
