Sea wall's kin (5)

I believe the answer is:

levee

(Other definitions for levee that I've seen before include "Artificial embankment" , "Gathering" , "An embankment built to prevent a river from overflowing" , "Early morning reception by a monarch" , "Retaining embankment" .)

I've seen this clue in the Penny Press.
