Merely is fine but, how does AS become gravel ridge?

[bookbinder]

Sorry, swarbrules, haven't a clue what you mean.

[swarbrules]

The clue is: borders, merely edged by gravel ridges.

I'm trying not to give away the answer (a---s) so that I don't spoil it for others (unless anyone specifically asks).

An as IS a gravel ridge (a kame or esker)! You possible need a good dictionary :)

[swarbrules]

I've got one :) but, one that assumes I know what an esker or kame is.

Thanks

If it's any consolation, it often crops up in crosswords - the only reason I know it.

I thought I'd completed this without too ,much difficulty but then I noticed 4down Bolt supplying first bit of cotton skirt (4) I have CHU? As far as I can see there is nothing in Chambers which corresponds to anything in the clue. Chubb has two B's and chug and chut and chum all seem to miss the mark Help please

Sorry about the delay but, I thought this thread had finished. The answer (CHUG) isn't in my Chambers but, it does give hug and skirt as synonyms.
