Cylindrical anti-tank blocks, with domed top. They each have two steel eyes for hawsers, one on top, the other on the side. Possibly not in their original locations.

Large anti-tank cylinder with metal ring. It has been moved recently for the building of a new fence, but the farmer says it will be preserved in the field.
[The recorder talked with the farmer who pointed out an area which had been trenched for inundation from the River Wey as well as the position of anti-tank 'pimples' now removed].
