encastrado

Es palabra muy usada en la descripción de emblemas heráldicos en muros y fachadas, por ejemplo:
http://www.ayuntamientovillamanin.com/ventosilla.html
"En el lugar que actualmente ocupa el cementerio hubo una iglesia, de factura románica popular, con casa rectoral y capilla con bóveda nervada y escudo nobiliario. Fue derruida, pero se conserva la pared frontal, en que se halla encastrado el escudo."
