(Classification amended to Anti-tank Blocks; Road Block; Pillbox (Possible)). The revetment along the edge of a terrace in front of Balmoral Cottages is built of concrete anti-tank blocks that have been removed from the beaches at Cove Harbour and another inlet immediately to the NE. No blocks are now left at the harbour, but several are still visible on the beach at the other inlet, along with what may be the remains of a small pillbox. This lies on the W side of the inlet, set into the slope below the road leading to the harbour, but it has been reduced to little more than a short length of concrete wall preserving an internal angle.
