The site of a roadblock?
Seven depressions in the road surface on the northerly approach to Redscar Bridge may indicate the former positions of sockets for metal poles or girders to form a roadblock during World War II. RAF Milfield was within a stone's throw of this location. See LinkExternal link for an indication of the variety of roadblocks and anti-tank traps used in Britain during World War II.

This photograph was taken during the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic of 2020/21.
