Concrete anti-tank cubes. Long row built corner to corner. They run along side of steep bank which appears to have been bulldozed into shape. Traps go up steep shingle bank, then a small gap, then round a corner along the top of beach. Some are part buried. Approx 20 in all and about 4ft high topped with pyramid shape.

A line of some 14 x anti-tank blocks running across the beach to the sea. A single isolated block is at NO 833722. [see also UORNs 6257 and 6262].
