Contemporary records state, "Road Barrier. Fordstreet Hill, Aldham. Map ref. 370450" (Mil. Ed.). The faint marks of a rail and socket anti-tank barrier can be made out on an aerial photograph taken in 1946 at the foot of Ford Street Hill, where the anti-tank ditch (SMR 10976/MCC5115) crossed the road. On each side of the road anti-tank pimples, either cones or pyramids 2’ high and 3’ wide at their base, can be seen. There were three on the W side of the road and two on the E.

At the time of the site visit, in the corner of the field on the E side of the road there was an earth-covered slightly raised portion with large pieces of “typically WWII” concrete – possibly the remains of the demolished pimples.
