The dam is characterised by an aperture (23) extending between the opposed faces in the lower part thereof, the aperture being closed by a metal plate (25), for example of the same composition as the liquid metal to be introduced into the tundish. The invention further provides a tundish incorporating at least one such dam (20) and a method of casting metal using the tundish.
