Pill-boxes and anti-tank blocks of World War II date. A complete line of anti-tank blocks along shore with integral pill-boxes. There are two types of pill-boxes, the largest covering along the inside and outside of the blocks and is designed for machine guns. It has a door with blast wall, five large loop-holes and two small loop-holes. During a site visit in February 2009 by AOC it was noted that the line of anti-tank blocks remained almost complete. Nearly all of the blocks have been constructed using the shuttered concrete technique and most retain their metal lifting loops. They noted that the pillboxes are nearly all type 24 with alternate small rectangular blockhouses the whole length of the beach. Only one pillbox would appear to have suffered from under-cutting by the sea, that at NJ 28406 67905 - the structure now leans to one side. Features were also recorded during Moray Community Coastal Zone Assessment Survey (CCZAS) in June 2022.
