At Melbury Abbas on the village outskirts on Spread Eagle Hill are two anti-tank blocks on the east side of the road, and a single one opposite on the other side. Dating from the dark days of 1940 or 1941, they once may have formed part of a wartime road block on the minor road south between Melbury Abbas and Blandford.
