Pillbox (unclassified): DoB ID: S0003143

The pillbox is roughly square in plan apart from at the front, where a straight centre section with its embrasure, has slightly angled sides. The view here is of the south elevation with its embrasure, showing the pillbox on top of the 5' high reinforced concrete wall of the anti-tank ditch.
