revetment

The best arrangement, which is ascribed to Albert Drer, was the “counter-arched revetment.”

The section through the face of the bastion shows a demi-revetment with wide berm, and a hedge as an additional obstacle.

The escarp is falling into disfavour, on account of the great expense of a revetment that can withstand breaching fire.

The revetment differed mainly in the care which had been bestowed upon it, and consisted mostly of reeds, grass, &c.

The marble revetment of the narthex is a splendid specimen of that style of decoration.
