A minimum of 16 4ft concrete anti-tank cubes (probably many more) running in a line through a belt of woodland parallel with railway line. Very overgrown. The cubes are set close together (2ft), side facing side (i.e. not corner to corner as in other examples). Three cubes lie parallel with the road. No access - private land.
