Monument record TQ 85 NW 131 - Anti-tank blocks at Castle Hill, Thurnham
Summary
Two sets of anti-tank blocks are positioned close to Thurnham Castle. The first is on the west side of the lane, south west of the castle. The other is on the east side of the road, south east of the castle. Both prevent access to open countryside, presumably to prevent dumping. Both sets have presumably been removed from their original locations which would probably have been part of the defences of Detline Airfield.
