A flood defence barrier comprises a plurality of dam members 1 arranged substantially end to end and configured to rise in the event of a flood and to fall when the flood recedes. A guide post 5 is positioned between adjoining ends of a pair of the dam members and is connected to each thereof so as to form a watertight joint. The guide post is slidably mounted within a hollow shaft 11 for upward and downward movement as the guide post rises and falls with the dam members.
