...will go - oh!

I'm plugging a gap in a two skin battered stone wall about 6ft high where the gate used to be.

I only want to be building to half the wall's thickness to create an alcove and was wondering if there were any structural strength downsides to doing this (the wall borders the street where the kids play).

The gap is three feet in width.

Any advice/reassurance greatly appreciated.

Drill a few holes into the existing stonework joints and insert some re-bar
to make it more stable if required.
