Uncoursed Ashlar Wall
An uncoursed ashlar wall is a type of masonry wall built in a pattern of regularly spaced ashlar blocks, with no continuous horizontal courses. The ashlar blocks are either cut or unshaped, and each block is typically larger than a brick or concrete block. This type of wall is typically used to create a strong and durable wall that is aesthetically pleasing. The wall can be constructed entirely of ashlar, or it can be composed of a combination of ashlar, brick, and concrete blocks. The use of ashlar blocks allows for greater flexibility in the design of the wall, as the blocks can be cut or unshaped to fit the desired design of the wall.
