Archaeology Notes

NO21NE 92 27045 15829

The remains of a World War II road block are situated at the S end of Lindores Loch. All that can be seen are fragments of the concrete wall, both of which protrude from the railway bridge abutments. The N fragment has a piece of steel embedded in it.

The War Office map shows this as Road Block 87, with a complete block and the anti tank ditch carried through the road.

Visited by G Barclay 2006; NMRS, MS/6190.
