Rewrite Agree with Deane that it is poorly written. It might be better to rewrite the sentence as:
XX m3 of stones has been laid adjacent to a building, in addition to the intended surface.

stone fill

An XX m3 area of stone fill was added above the planned surface level next to the building.
This says it, but doesn't follow the Swe. But that is kinda poorly written.
