Description
The path around the north-west side of Debden Park Lake sits for some 150 yards on a high ridge between the lake and the much lower woods to the west. Forty yards north of the pillbox, straddling the path, are 15 concrete anti-tank pimples. They are pointed, three-sided, and approximately 4' tall. Originally, they probably stood in two rows across the path but some have now been pushed aside to form a clump on each side. Five photos of site. <1>
