Obviously they are heavy, what are about cranes, bull dozers, or earth movers.

So you are saying that they could afford to clean up the entire of europe, including military wreckages, wrecked cities, Rural areas, as well as the many bunkers, mines, barbed wire, trenches and other defenses, they couldn't afford to move these dragon teeth, I doubt that.

I would say the reason that they are there are the probably the same reason the Normandy defenses are still there, although I am surprised that there are so many left.
