The slave cabins were also constructed of tabby. The small holes in the wall are probably the result of the "spreader pins" used to hold the wooden forms at the proper thickness. The liquid tabby was poured into the forms and allowed to dry for several days. Once dry, the forms could be removed just as we do today with concrete construction.
