Monument record LWT 203 - A former pillbox in the grounds of former Old Hall, Gunton (LWT 022), part of wider defensive network of LWT 045

September 2013. Lothingland, Lowestoft and North Suffolk Coast and Heaths National Mapping Programme.
The site of a former type 22 pillbox in the grounds of the former Old Hall, Gunton (LWT 022), which formed part of a defensive group of pillboxes in Gunton Park (LWT 200), which itself originally part of wider defensive network, consisting of an extensive line of anti-tank cubes, barbed wire obstructions and associated defences (see LWT 045) is visible on aerial photographs (S1-S2). The pillbox is centred on TM 5405 9567 and may have been surrounded by an embankment, although it is feasible that this is a pre-existing landscape feature. The wider system forms a perimeter defence or ‘stop line’ around Lowestoft. See LWT 194-200 for other nearby components of this defensive system.
