So where in Hampshire am I?

its a long shot but is it in the "priory church", pamber end?

Are they tank traps?

Nope Touca, not Pamber End I'm afraid.

Yes, Daniel they were intended as tank traps.

On the edge of May's Bounty?

Yea! Congratulations, Yes they're the "Dragon's Teeth" at Dogmersfield just here. They were part of a line of fortification that ran across southern England and, I /think/, through the Southview graveyard.

Over to you for WIH?[5].

Bea, this may sound pathetic but I don't know whether there are tank traps around May's Bounty or not! It was just a general feeling about the picture and the place that I got!

There used to be some square ones in the town. I remember some between Bramleys Grange and Sarum Hill. They removed them(??) and built a new house in the gap methinks. It could be that there were some up by May's Bounty too.
