13 anti-tank blocks sited in the small valley at Worbarrow Tout. Dimensions, 4ft square (3ft 3ins above ground level with concrete apex built on top; ground to apex is 5ft on average). Spacing, 4ft between each consecutive block with 5ft 6ins between the two rows. Built in situ using shingle/concrete mix. Concrete apex appears to be added later. Several blocks have 6ft diameter: 1.5ins deep holes on one elevation.
