A short c.70m length of anti-tank blocks runs across the mouth of the Braidon Burn just before it runs into to Braidon Bay. The anti-tank blocks are visible on a vertical air photograph (106G/Scot/UK 62, 3320, flown 8 May 1946).
The blocks end at their N end in a barbed-wire enclosure which surrounds a small trench between the track and the beach defences, possibly a machine-gun emplacement (NO87NE 53).
Some of the concrete blocks are still extant in the area.
