Note (10 February 2023)

On the S side of the Burn of Freswick and abutting the boundary wall between Freswick House and the steading is a double line of dragon teeth. Some at the N end have slipped down the slope and are lying on the beach. This may be a continuation of the small arc of Anti Tank blocks found on the N side of the burn.
