Pillbox (removed) DoB ID: S0003332

The final pillbox on this section of the River Dee is unrecognisable as such, save for this large piece of concrete that is probably some distance away from its original position. Most likely yet another modified type 23, it may have been demolished to make way for the electricity pylons.
