Full Description
Three massive anti-tank blocks above the railway line at north corner of Lower Danes Recreation Ground, forming part of anti-tank defences running south to Old Charlton Road. Each block is c. 2 m high and 1m wide. The block nearest the railway is damaged. The blocks appear to have filled the gap between the north-western terminal of the anti-tank ditch and the main railway cutting.(1)
