A small group of concrete anti-tank blocks has been identified from oblique aerial photographs (RAF S319.H53.1416, frames 24-5, flown 11 July 1941). They block a small bridge over a culvert on the esplanade. Ten blocks can be seen on the photographs situated below the bridge. They were not recorded by Mr J Guy as part of his Grampian Survey of 20th Century remains for Historic Scotland (NMRS MS 810/1) and have probably since been removed.
Information from RCAHMS (DE), August 2001
There are eight concrete blocks at the mouth of the culvert, however, the blocks are not anti-tank blocks, instead they appear to be more modern concrete blocks.
