WWII Anti-Tank Pimples, Icknield Way, Lackford.
There are six Anti-Tank Pimples at this road junction as part of the Eastern Command Line. These Pimples, were popularly known as ''Dragon's Teeth'' were pyramid-shaped concrete blocks designed specifically to counter tanks which, when attempting to traverse them, would climb up exposing their vulnerable under parts of the vehicle and possibly slip down with the tracks between the points. They vary in size and shape somewhat, but were typically 2ft high and about 3ft square at the base, as with these ones they were also cast conical form.
