>> see below << Explanation: "mampostería" = "masonry" cuneta = ditch or gutter So, a "cuneta de mampostería" would be a masonry ditch, or (better) a stone-lined ditch or gutter. However, there is another possibility: "cuneta" might be "cuñeta," which is a small paving stone. This would also make sense, with "cuñeta de mampostería" = a small masonry paving block or stone. The choice, as always, will be determined by context. |
