Not Sure, but some ideas. canal=yes and historic= WW2 anti tank defence feature maybe a wiki link = https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:barrier%3Dtank_trap
although the latter are of an alternative type.

Hi Andy Mackey, thanks for the thougths I just realize that I even got 3 new possible edits for the Wiki lines. The first is a dune sand trap, the second is a massive T shaped wall, with a gate construction and a moat. All made to prevent the enemy to enter the Festung, a defensive German position.
