Full Description
Site of a demolished World War II pillbox. It was built up against the side of the old fire engine shed and had a sloping roof so that it would blend in and be camouflaged from aerial reconnaissance. As a result its firing ports were very close to the ground (S1). Also a photograph in S1.
