verb
technical
To fill the mortar joints of a stone wall with small chips of stone, called gallets, to strengthen and decorate the work.
Builders gallet a wall by pressing small stone chips into wet mortar between larger stones, which helps support the mortar, reduces the amount needed, and often creates a decorative pattern. The technique is common in traditional dry stone and rubble masonry found across parts of Britain. The same word also names the small stone chips themselves when used as a noun.
