Is the stone wall damp? Adding a weatherboarding rainscreen might actually help by keeping the rain off but ensure plenty of ventilation been the timber cladding and stone wall. Gap at top (but think about how to cover to stop rain getting in) and bottom, with at least 5cm between back of cladding and stone. Maybe a bit more. You can use treated wood for less rotting eg Thermowood (heat treated) or Accoya (some kind of magic chemical treatment, don't understand it but it's pretty durable stuff).
Are you on the boundary to neighbours? Just keep in mind there might be fire issues with having combustible materials on or close to the boundary.
