pier block / stump
There are many examples on Google if you look for "concrete stumps" or "concrete pier blocks", so I think either one is ok.
Example sentence:
"Concrete pier blocks/"Stumps" allow that there will be air space under the lowest level of the home, even to a point where you can design a crawl space for access to utilities, etc., but also defines more narrowly the type of construction you'll have to
