Polygonal masonry
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Polygonal masonry consists of stones that have five or more face angles, in contrast to ashlar blocks which have four rectangular ones.[1]
In Greece, Cyclopean masonry was the first type of polygonal masonry.[2] To fit the stones properly to each other, masons would utilize strips of lead to form templates of the already laid blocks, which were then used to shape the to-be-adjoined ones.[3]
