Full Description
A group of Second World War anti tank cubes are visible on aerial photographs of Weymouth taken in 1946 (1), located along the western edge of Radipole Lake. The blocks to the south may still have been situated in their original positions. The concentration of blocks located further to the north are most likely to have been moved here after the war. These features were digitally plotted during the South West Rapid Coastal Zone Assessment Survey (Dorset). They are not visible on the most recent comprehensive aerial images available to the project, having since been built over by modern development.
