NHER 26707 (Monument record) - World War Two tank trap

January 2001. NMP.
A bank is visible on 1944 and 1946 aerial photographs (S1)-(S2) running alongside a natural watercourse, between TF 6966 4346 and TF 6879 4264, for approximately 1.3km. The banks are made up of spoil heaps which resulted from a deepening of the natural channel around World War Two, to form a tank trap running slightly inland along this section of coast. There are banks on both sides of the channel for most of the length of this feature, but an offshoot of the bank continues in fragmentary form from TF 6900 4267 to TF 6894 4232. The feature continues to the east into Holme next the Sea parish for some 2.5km. This section is recorded as NHER 26701.
