📌 WWII Anti-Tank Pimples, London Road, Flimwell.

Unable to confirm these are World War Two Anti-Tank Pimples, the size and shape seem to match ? They are another example of Anti-Tank Defences, the ''Pimple'' was usually a pyramid-shaped concrete block about 2ft x 2ft (sometimes 3ft x 3ft, or even bigger like the flat top pyramid version) these ones are in a conical shape, and referred to as ''Dragon's Teeth''. They were designed specifically to counter Tanks which, when attempting to traverse them, would climb up exposing the vulnerable under parts of the vehicle and could also possibly slip down with the tracks between the pyramid points.
