A protective armor layer for revetments which includes a plurality of components arranged in a close-fitting substantially uniformly patterned single layer for placement on an embankment with the axes of the components substantially perpendicular to the embankment and with a tie-rod through diagonal rows of the components at eyelets in the components. A component is comprised of a short cylindrical tube having a length of about one-half of the outside diameter and a wall thickness of about one-tenth the outside diameter.
