From Wikipedia
Polygonal masonry consists of stones that have five or more face angles, in contrast to ashlar blocks which have four rectangular ones. In Greece, Cyclopean masonry was the first type of polygonal masonry. To fit the stones properly to each other, masons would utilize strips of lead to form templates of the already laid blocks, which were then used to shape the to-be-adjoined ones.
