Two parallel rows of anti-tank 'dragons teeth' type concrete blocks. One row each side of, and running in line with, the railway. Each row consists of 27 small blocks with two larger 'gateposts' (which have metal anchor points) at the now long disused field gates either side of the railway line. The blocks are apparently undisturbed since their construction.
