A gabion (from Italian gabbione meaning "big cage"; from Italian gabbia and Latin cavea
meaning "cage") is a cage, cylinder, or box filled with rocks,
concrete, or sometimes sand and soil for use in civil engineering, road
building, and military applications. For erosion control, caged riprap
is used. For dams or in foundation construction, cylindrical metal
structures are used. In a military context, earth- or sand-filled
gabions are used to protect artillery crews from enemy fire.
