English term or phrase: flatter stone
The net must be installed over the mouth of the cavity built at the bottom of the pit and which leads to the oil pipe. In this case the pit must be covered by a dense steel grating on top of which is put a 25 to 50 cm deep layer of stones, lower flatter stones and on the surface 30-50 cm of gravel.

I would like to know or to see what it is! Thank you.
