Full Description
A possible WW2 tank trap, comprising around 24 large concrete blocks, there may be others in the river channel not visible each one is approximately 1.5m x1.5m. An alternative interpretation is that they are the remains of a collapsed sea defence attempt, perhaps to protect the beacon at Broadness. (1)
