Pillbox - shellproof (type FW3/28A): DoB ID: S0011911

This pillbox has also been raised over a foot above the ground on a solid raft of concrete. Like most here, the opening of the gun position has now been blocked off, presumably to prevent farm animals from venturing inside, and also to facilitate its conversion to a storage space.
