Is there a translation for this term?
El ábside del convento, contruido de mampostería que alternat con **verdugadas**--hileras horizontales--de ladrillo es una de las muestras más interestantes del Toledo medieval. Se diferencia de los ábside toledanos de los siglos XII y XIII a las que imita, en que no emplea unicamente el ladrillo en su construcción, como era lo usual. Se ilumina este ábside a través de dos ventanas con arcos de herradura apuntados, dentro de arcos polilobulados. en medio campea una bellos escudo.

In support of Muriel's answer
We all know that the DRAE is not the best place to go for explanations of technical terms, so here's some more info to support Muriel's answer.
A verdugada is not just a "layer of bricks", it is special as it is a layer/row/course of bricks which occurs in a wall made of a different material.
La verdugada es concretamente la hilada de ladrillo en un muro de otro material.
http://www.cnice.mecd.es/eos/MaterialesEducativos/bachillera...
Verdugada
Cada una de las hiladas horizontales de ladrillo colocadas en una obra de distinto material.
http://www.castillosnet.org/glosario/V.shtml
verdugada = hilada horizontal de ladrillos intercalada en una obra hecha con otro material
diccionario LID de construcción e inmobiliario
Verdugada.
En construcción: hilada horizontal de ladrillos intercalada en obra de otro material.
http://comarca.adsur.es/turismo_glosario.php
VERDUGADA.- Hilada de ladrillo que se pone horizontalmente en una fábrica de otro material.
http://olmo.pntic.mec.es/~fbez0000/mudejar/dic.htm
As far as I am concerned, a layer of bricks (no matter how many times it appears in Google, and I get 3,590 in total, with the very first hit telling you that it is called a course), does not convey the full meaning of the Spanish term.
Muriel is suggesting ***string course***, not course of bricks, and there is a big difference. A string course is "a decorative, thin, horizontal course of brick along the wall of a building" (Penguin building dictionary), which I think is a better term to use in this case.

P.S. Forgot to add that a string course does not always have to project from the rest of the wall
