20 anti-tank blocks aligned NW-SE across the gully to the SE of Studland Bay House. They were positioned to block the route from the beach inland. Five of the blocks lie to the N of the stream in the gully and 15 to the S. 2 blocks have slipped into the stream bed. Each block is 1.2m wide and projects on average 1.5m from the ground, with a low pointed pyramid top. A similar line of blocks existed below the Middle Beach car park at SZ 037828 but they have now been reused in the beach defences NW of Redend Point.
