Answer seems to be PARAPET, but I can't see any wordplay - is it just a description of what a parapet is?

If last letter is wrong then porkpie (hat) would fit . could also involve porkpie as slang for lie.

Thanks, danny. Strange clue

Thanks, donny, but the T is okay, it's from 15a:
Gnomes inferior, second best or shattered (7)
which is STROBES - you have to be a Private Eye reader to understand that one!

Brainiac, I too thought this was an odd one! I did wonder if the 'head' in the clue was leading to a ruder meaning, quite common in Private Eye.

How about "persant" meaning a piercing , the head would be the usual part of the anatomy prefered by Private Eye.

I agree it's not a great clue but I think it's suggesting that if you're in a trench (as in WWI) with a parapet you're less likely to get your head blown off.
