Full Description

Four 0.15m by 0.15m square concrete holes measuring 0.90m deep were found in the verges of Thong Hall Road. Two of the holes have 0.25m by 0.25m square concrete lids with ‘Top’ inscribed on them. The concrete holes are likely to be sockets for a ‘hedgehog’ roadblock, into which pieces of iron bar would have been inserted (S1)(S2).
