River embankment (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

levee

'river embankment' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for levee that I've seen before include "An embankment built to prevent a river from overflowing" , "Morning reception once held by monarch" , "Artificial embankment" , "Early morning reception by a monarch" , "Embankment on the Mississippi" .)

I've seen this clue in The Star Tribune, The Guardian, The Times and the Penny Press.
