Description

This structure is a World War II anti-tank ditch created between 1940 and 1941 as part of the Blandford Forum Anti-Tank Island. It was made by adapting and reinforcing a late 18th century or early 19th century brick and flint ha-ha with concrete. The ditch is approximately 280 meters long. At the north end, at number 12 Parklands, there is a single concrete cube built on top of the ditch, and at number 9 Parklands, there is a brick and concrete pillbox, which is also partly built on top of the ditch.
