According to my good old Lello Dictionary (Portugal/1922) Hermano got
the right and correct answer.
My dictionary reads:
Cabouqueiro (or Cavouqueiro) - substantive masc.
The one that does "caboucos". One that digs . One that works in mines.
Caboucos , in Portuguese, means holes in on the ground where
foundations are then set.

This is the best that I could find
cabouqueiro s. m.
1. Aquele que faz caboucoscavoucos. - One who excvavates
2. Aquele que escava. - an excavator
3. Cavador. - a digger
4. Aquele que trabalha em minas. - a miner
In the records it would usually reffer to a quarryer who would also be a srone mason.
Others may have a better definition.
Hope that helps.
