Each connector (2) has a rear attachment portion (8) attached to a respective stabilising element (3) and at least two spaced apart front attachment portions (6) attached to the facing. The earth mass comprises a first region (20) of soil suitable for plant growth, in which first region (20) the connectors (2) are located, and a second region (21) of structural backfill, in which second region (21) the stabilising elements (3) are located.
