On my active claim, I was replacing a Stone henge by a brick wall, destroying stone henge tile by tile, and building brick in its place, to fill the opening.
The destroyed stone henge wall (either a corner or wood door) splashed on adjacent brick wall segment, leaving it at 12% health.
So this damaged brick wall was located on the same row and following the same build directions than stone one, not in 'front off' or 'behind'.
