Flood embankment and protection status. Flood embankment A flood embankment is traditionally an earth wall used to shore up flood waters. Most flood embankments are between 1 metre and 3 metres high. A 5 metre high flood embankment is rare. Modern improvements to this design include constructing an internal central core made from impermeable substance like clay or concrete, some even use metal pilings. Some authorities call man-made structures levees.

Preventing the lawful burial of a body dissection. It is a separate common law offence to dispose of a dead body with intent to obstruct or prevent a coroner's inquest. Burning a body instead of burying it was not illegal. It is now an offence to burn a body otherwise than in an approved crematorium. Disposing of the dead body of a child with intent to conceal the birth of that child (regardless as to when he or she died) is an offence under section 60 of the Offences Against the Person Act 1861.
