[m.]Depósito de tierra sobrante colocado al lado y en lo alto de un desmonte. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-05-09 12:30:45 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- María Moliner 9 Montón de tierra sobrante colocado a un lado y en la parte alta de un *desmonte. http://www.fawside-foundation.freeserve.co.uk/work/spiledam/... On the upstream side piling was angled back towards a small bankside promontory. On the downstream side piling was angled back and curved round to follow the deep water channel running parallel to the bank of the newly eroded bay. Piling stopped short of the down stream end of this bay as Sand Martins were nesting in the eroded river bank at this point. |
