An angry man decided to install anti-tank defences after he heard rumours travellers might be moving to his town.
Mark Greenfield took a distrust of travellers to extremes after 30 vehicles were spotted at a nearby recreation ground.
Having had travellers set up on his fields in the past, he was struck by the fear they would do so again and set up military-like measures.
This included hiring a night watchman who has been at the site in Gillingham, Kent, since Tuesday.
Mark set up the anti-tank defences, each weighing a tonne, in front of the two gates and backed both up with parked cars behind for an extra protection.
Mark’s actions stem from his desperation to protect the field he uses for his lucrative car boot businessman ahead of what he hopes is a booming bank holiday weekend.
Mark said: "I am trying to stop them getting on the field. I do not want them on here. I have had to go to extremes and I would go to more if I had to.
"I think I have gone a long way to stop them. I have put my defences up.
"I do not want them to ruin my business or ruin the boot fair for all the traders and public who come to them.
"It is costing me money to get them out. I am out here everyday. I cannot relax really.
"It is stressful, I have a double weekend this weekend which would not go ahead if they get on here."
Last month members of the travelling community broke into Mark’s field and set up around 20 caravans.
But after a section 61 was issued they were gone within just three days.
The notice gives police the power to tell an encampment to leave once certain conditions are met.
But the issue only lasts three months and future groups can turn up unaffected by it.
The businessman was worried the community might derail his popular car boot fair because the order would not apply to them.
Though he's excited for a busy weekend at the boot fair on Sunday and Monday, he is not letting down his defences.
Ian Gilmore, Medway Council's head of regulatory services, said: "We are following a civil legal process to move the group on."
