There are hundreds yards of World War Two Anti-Invations Defences piled along the beach below the cliffs, they have been repurposed for use as Anti-Erosion Defences put in place around the Norfolk coast, to help stop the erosion of the cliffs.
Amongst the remains along the beach you will find reused railway lines and many Concrete Blocks, which are are little smaller than normal, these were more likely part of the Anti-Boat Scaffolding stretching along the beach, the normal Anti-Tank Block size is approximately between 4ft and 5ft square.
Between the railway lines and amongst the concrete blocks are improvised concrete cylinders made from pouring concrete in to oil drums and inserting a bracket in the top, this was to link the cylinders together slowing down any advances made by the enemy. Above the cliffs is very well preserved example of an Emergency Coastal Battery including two Engine Houses.
