Buoy anti-tank obstacle

Buoy is a British type of anti-tank obstacle used to block roads intended to impede enemy movement. Buoys were widely deployed during the invasion crisis of 1940–1941. Each buoy was a truncated cone with a rounded bottom which was constructed out of concrete. They would be placed in at least five rows across a roadway.
