Sett

A sett, usually the plural setts, is a broadly rectangular quarried stone used originally for paving roads, today a decorative stone paving used in landscape architecture.

A sett is distinct from a Cobblestone by being quarried or shaped to a regular form, whereas a cobblestone is generally naturally occurring. They are also sometimes generically referred to as Belgian Blocks.
