Have have one of those torc anchors with the added plate for breeze blocks although mine is bolted to a brick wall.
It is a real beast.

If you have plenty of space and of a thrifty nature you can set an old steel car wheel in the concrete and run a chain through the holes.

That's a good idea with the car wheel although I only plan on havin my concrete around 200mm deep otherwise it ups the £££.

Will there be steel reinforcing in the concrete.
If so and you were planning on buying one of the more expensive bolt cropper proof chains.
Buy a longer lengh and grind a section off and concrete te it in so it goes under the rebar and comes out again so you effectively have two short chains coming out of the ground or leave the two ends in so you have a chain loop coming out of the ground.
