In the Index Status section of Google Webmaster Tools a site I manage has seen a sudden increase in pages "Blocked from robots".
There's been no spike in Crawl Errors since this happened a week and a half ago, so how can I best diagnose this? Is there any way to find a list of the blocked URLs? Is there a reason this spiked suddenly?

I cannot see any options in Google Webmaster Tools. Unfortunately, Google does not seem to give a clue. At first I thought that the Blocked URLs and testing your robots.txt file would give details, but I am not seeing it. Then I thought perhaps Index Status data could help but no go.
I looked to other tools like Screaming Frog and it is not clear if it will list issues with URLs and the robots.txt file. There is a whole section for the robots.txt file, but I am not sure how deep it will go.
Sorry. This should be a feature in Google Webmaster Tools. Perhaps the test button should list all know URLs that would be blocked.
