French term or phrase: "cylindres maconnés"

"Voulez-vous comprendre d'où vient à la plaine sa belle fécondité ? Regardez à vos pieds les rigoles, creusées le long des champs de céréales et de légumes, et, d'espace en espace, coupées de cylindres maconnés au centre desquels on aperçoit la manivelle d'une pompe à siphon." = context

typo for << maçonnés >>

Explanation:
As in made of masonry. (Although the French term would seem to include brick construction, I'd ignore this, and say "masonry cylinders" or even "stone cylinders".)
