| A sett, also known as a block, Belgian block or sampietrini, is a broadly rectangular quarried stone used in paving roads and walkways. Formerly in widespread use, particularly on steeper streets because setts provided horses` hooves with better grip than a smooth surface, they are now encountered rather as decorative stone paving in landscape architecture. Setts are often wrongly referred to as `cobblestones`, although a sett is distinct from a cobblestone in that it is quarried or worked to a regular shape, whereas the latter is generally a small, naturally-rounded rock. Setts are usually made of granite. |
