Description

This research is automated and may contain errors.

21/03/1999 Anti-tank wall. This wall is typical of other anti-tank invasion walls still existing in Cornwall, other than the fact that it is 6in wider at 4ft 6in. It measures an average 5ft 6in in height and is 33ft in length. It is still completely intact as built and is constructed of concrete blocks on either side of a wall with solid concrete infill.

Tactically it is a little difficult to understand why it was built where it is because it could only have stopped tanks coming from Todden which is a cliff jutting out to the SW of Cadgwith beach. Any attack at Cadgwith would have been via the beach, but apparently this was not protected by a wall because the fishermen carried out their work from the beach throughout the war.
