Pillbox (type FW3/24): DoB ID: S0003244
Anti-tank blocks: DoB ID: S0012287

There is an almost continuous line of anti-tank blocks along the coast here between Fairbourne and Barmouth, and set among them is a solitary type 24 pillbox (another further south has now been lost). Of brick construction and double skinned, its ricochet wall has been removed.
