Summary
WWII anti-tank cubes visible on aerial photographs taken of Dover in the 1940's. These four cubes appeared to block the route between a slipway and the road within the harbour and were orientated WSW-ENE. They are not present on later aerial photographs suggesting that they were removed after the end of the Second World War. (loaction accurate to the nearest 10m based on available information)
