Pillbox (type FW3/26): DoB ID: S0012743

Southwest of the previous pillbox is a variant version of the type 26 square pillbox, having multiple embrasures instead of the usual central loop in each of three walls. The entrance doorway is offset to one side (normal), but on that side there are two loopholes instead of one, and the side wall on the right has three.
