This road block and line of anti-tank blocks are situated each side of a footpath that runs from the car park to the shore at a point where it S-bends, almost at the coast.
A very good example of of a road block in a line of anti-tank blocks. Concrete cylinders that would have been rolled across the road are still visible on one side of the track. There are slots in the concrete block for the posts.

Field Visit (5 November 2017)
A graffiti on the NE face of the slotted block of concrete that forms the NW side of the World War Two roadblock reads 'WE SHOULD STAY QUIET NO LONGER'.
