stone pitching

Stones used to form a protective covering to an earth embankment or river banks to prevent scour and erosion.


Note: The French term enrochements and the German term Steinschuttung also apply to stones used to provide a protective mound or embankment.




Please note that this is the term as it stands in the original IALA Dictionary edition (1970-1989)
