A line of 59 anti tank pimples c.93m in total length. The pimples are square and rectangular flat topped pyramids arranged alternately. A bank extends to the south and possibly also comprised part of this anti tank defence. (1)
In 2012/3 Architectural Archaeology carried out a watching brief. At least 76 pimples were found. The line stands on top of a concrete berm, possibly an earlier sea defence. (2)
