Embankment (5)

Ross

I think it could be either:

ridge

levee

(Other definitions for ridge that I've seen before include "Narrow raised band on a surface" , "Long narrow natural elevation" , "there's a lot of pressure in it" , "Line where two upward sloping surfaces meet" , "back of whale" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sunday Times, the King Feature Syndicate, the Universal, The Mirror, The Star Tribune, the Penny Press, the Sydney Morning Herald and the Evening Standard.
