Stone cut into square or rectangular blocks, or masonry built from such blocks.
Builders prize ashlar for its tidy joints and smooth faces, which are far neater than the rough fieldstone used in cheaper walls. Often a thin skin of ashlar is laid over a core of rubble or brick, giving a grand front at modest cost. Freemasons later borrowed the word in their ritual language, contrasting the rough ashlar with the perfect one.
