Fill
In Civil Engineering
In civil engineering, a Fill is an artificial ridge or dam of earth or gravel constructed to support a prepared right-of-way such as a railroad or highway across a valley or depression .
A Cut is the opposite: a wide V shaped 'trench' through a hill or higher part. For efficiency the aim is to balance the earth volumes from the cut and fill.
