Full Description
An L-shaped section of barbed wire obstruction, c 230m long, can be seen as a structure on grassland close to the beach west of Walberswick on 1941 (S1) and 1945 (S2) aerial photographs. The barbed wire is interrupted by a line of anti-tank cubes (WLB 041) and appears to be a part of the World War II coastal defences in this area.
