Please read our guidance about the use of Dorset Historic Environment Record data.
Summary
A large group of Second World War anti-tank blocks are visible on 1946 RAF aerial photographs, located at the mouth of a cove south of Bindon Range (MDO29420). These have since been moved to a new location, approximately 20m to the south-east (MDO29421), probably as a form of sea defence for the sewage outfall pipe here.

A large group of Second World War anti-tank blocks are visible on 1946 RAF aerial photographs (2), located at the mouth of a cove south of Bindon Range (MDO29420).
