I thought our house was built of brick. But when I tried to scrape away some cracked plaster last night so that I could repair it, I found this. There is a layer of red sand covering a layer of small stones mixed with, I guess, old mortar. What kind of construction is this? Adobe? Home-made concrete? In any case, the glue is gone from it and it acts like the pile of loose sand from which it came.
