NJ2668 : Disappearing Tank Traps

taken 4 years ago, 4 km ESE of Lossiemouth, Moray, Scotland

Disappearing Tank Traps
Disappearing Tank Traps
At this point each of the concrete cubes is successively buried deeper than the previous one, until the last one before the line disappears into the sand dune at the back of the beach. The sand has clearly been building up, but what I would like to know is whether it has actually engulfed some of the cubes, and whether the dunes were low enough to see the sea from the defensive line when it was built.
