Missing masonry but what is it and where can I get another?

You have a terracotta string course composed of terracotta profiled bricks.

Google the above description or go to Hansens speciality bricks.

You will have to root out both smashed stubs of terracotta.

A 125mm grinder might help to rake out the mortar joints but its probably best to slowly, and carefully, pick out the terracotta remnants with a thin cold chisel.

The RWP should be jogged out and back avoiding the string course.

Never paint terracotta (or any masonry, for that matter).

Make a profile outline on a piece of thin cardboard to copy the exact profile dimensions.
