An anchor 1 for embedding in a concrete element to provide for the lifting of the element, the anchor 1 including a head 3 at one end having a lifting eye 5 for releasable engagement with a lifting shackle assembly, and a body 11 extending in a longitudinal direction from the head 3 for embedding within the concrete element, the lifting eye being formed in a centrally located main portion 17 of the head 3, the head 3 further including a pair of wing portions 19 provided at opposite ends of the main portion 17, wherein the head 3 is of non-uniform thickness with the thickness of the wing portions 19 being less than the thickness of the main portion 17 such that a ledge 21 is provided between the main portion 17 and wing portions 19. The ledge 21 advantageously minimises the potential for concrete slurry during casting to seep into the lifting eye 5 from between side edges of the anchor head 3 and a removable void former in abutment with opposing faces of the anchor head 3.
