Remains of five groups of anti-tank cubes, part of the Cowie Stop Line. The ground east of the Glenury Viaduct drops to a floodplain which was fortified by five sections of anti-tank cubes which are visible on vertical aerial photographs taken by the RAF in 1946. Only thirteen survive, one on the breakwater at the mouth of the Cowie Water and a line of twelve still in their original position to the west of the Cowie Bridge. The remaining sections have been removed either entirely or in part, although some may simply have been buried by landscaping activities as some concrete shows through the ground in places. The remaining twelve are set at 45 degrees to the road and some have stones set into the tops for camouflage.
