Answer 1

Explanation:

Ashlar masonry is a type of stone masonry that uses stones of uniform size and shape.
The stones are carefully cut and dressed to achieve a regular, smooth appearance, which makes this type of masonry highly precise and aesthetically pleasing.

Additional Information

Dry masonry: This type of masonry uses stones that are laid without the use of mortar. The stones may or may not be of uniform size and shape.
Random rubble: In this type, the stones are of irregular sizes and shapes. The mortar holds them together, and they are not as precisely cut as in ashlar masonry.
Coursed rubble: Similar to random rubble, but the stones are laid in courses (layers). The stones are generally not uniform in size and shape, though they may be somewhat more orderly than random rubble.
