Hi,
I use man_made=embankment for a "talus". Some "talus" were raised through
the forests to delineate former districts ("communes"). In Gaume, in the
meadows with a moderate slope, there are a lot of "talus" laying
perpendicular to the slope, often with a hedge. They correspond to former
field borders and were formed by soil erosion, especially erosion by
ploughing. To me, man_made=embankment is OK for these features.
