Full Description
Remains of a World War II anti-tank barrier, part of the Cowie Stop Line. Protected on the west by naturally high river bank, the artificial barrier begins again at NO 85275 87878, closing off the eastern end of a boggy haugh, it runs north to a bend in the river where it turns east and is again has the form of a vertical-faced bank with much galvanized wire suggesting timber revetment. The barrier ran to the two bridgge, but recent landscaping has removed it, the natural river bank near the bridges rises and is revetted with stone.
