Barrier to maiden getting to place of interest with workers in Alien (10)
I believe the answer is:
embankment
'barrier' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'maiden getting to place of interest with workers in alien' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'maiden' could be 'm' (cricket abbreviation) and 'm' is found in the answer.
'workers' could be 'men' (man is a kind of worker) and 'men' is found in the answer.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
'to' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for embankment that I've seen before include "Mound" , "Riverside wall" , "Needle here" , "protection against rising liquidity" , "Wall built to prevent flooding" .)
