1. any polygonal masonry, but especially masonry of large irregularly shaped stones;
2. rusticated masonry dressed to appear it is naturally rough
rock-faced work straight from the quarry;rubble: stonework of undressed or roughly dressed stones including
coursed rubble (stones laid in courses, so requiring some preparation to ensure that joints are horizontal and stones properly bedded),
dry-stone (rough stones laid without mortar),
random rubble (very rough stones, uncoursed), and
squared rubble (stones cut roughly to have verticals at right angles to the horizontals);rusticated: masonry laid with joints exaggerated by chamfering, etc., the surface projecting beyond the joints. See
rustication.
3. Brickwork or any load-bearing structure such as blockwork, but the term is not recommended in this sense.
