Romanesque decorative Z- or V- and inverted V- shaped device (chevron or dancette), either incised or in relief, occurring in a continuous band or string, as an ornament around an arch or series of arches (see Order), or cut into the drum of a pier (as at Durham Cathedral). It has several variations (see herring-bone). Photo from Haddon Heights, New Jersey, 2018. 2. Plan-form of fortifications with gun-emplacements built outwards with salient angles.
