Anti-tank blocks - 'pimples' and 'coffins' - on shoreline.
(Source: Photograph )
On the coast, just north of Grain, is a length of anti-tank obstacles, part of which is very well preserved. These obstacles are predominantly 'dragon's teeth' and run for approximately 400m from the end of the sea wall (TQ 8885 7710).
