Full Description
A line of anti tank blocks on Balgownie Beach, part of the longer coast defence line (see NJ91SE0003) . The original position of the anti tank blocks has been altered heavily by coastal erosion in recent years. Tactically anti tank blocks obstructed the progress of tanks, and exposed their vulnerable undersides to fire should they try to cross. These examples have large jagged rocks embedded in the concrete. Site visit in 2022 as part of the SCAPE Coastal Zone Assessment Survey recorded anti-tank blocks at various locations: NJ9573110930 - blocks north and south of pillbox NJ91SE0109; NJ9566010593.
