18a "Strutting of piles beside river" (8)

C???S?R? I've got COCKSURE for strutting but whereas can see URE for river I can't see how piles would parse; unless of course I'm barking up the wrong tree altogether.

Any help much appreciated

Hi Gooner,

Do you mind me asking if your moniker is related to the North London gunners?
