An anti-tank block. It is built on a 10ft approximate concrete base with half inch iron reinforcing rods protruding through the bottom. Approximately 4ft square and 4ft high with a 9ins apex on top. On the exposed side (remainder buried in sand) there is a 4ins x 24ins long thin iron bracket which may have been used to hold a flag [?]. Further down the same side is a 4ins wide x 2ins deep groove that was case as an original feature. Two half inch iron reinforcing rods are exposed in this groove. No other anti-tank blocks are in evidence at this location.
