Monument record GSE 056 - World War II anti-tank cubes.

An L-shaped line of anti-tank cubes, c 80m long, can be seen on 1940 aerial photogrpahs (S1). The cubes are situated across 'Crazy Mary's Hole' a natural breach in the cliffs, which would have made access to the land from the beach much easier. A rectangular structure, c 5m across, situated at TM53678865 may be a pillbox, which may have worked as a defence feature in association with the anti-tank cubes. The 'tank trap' and pillbox are part of the World War II defensive features along this section of the coast. The anti-tank cubes can be seen more or less still 'in situ' on 1945 aerial photographs (S2).
