Full Description
A number of World War II barbed wire obstructions can be seen on photographs from 1944. They were probably related to the other coastal defences nearby including the adjacent tank traps (FEX 118, FEX 127). (S1) (S2)
There are some tiny trench features which could be gun pits adjacent to the barbed wire obstructions. (S2)
The barbed wire has been removed by October 1945.
