Full Description
A World War II strongpoint is visible in 1940 at TM 536839, east of Beach Farm. The strongpoint comprises a large square pillbox with adjacent trenches or emplacements with a barbed wire line to the north (S1). By 1941, the pillbox has gone but the trenches have been extended and the barbed wire is visible as a complete circuit, with apparent access from the west and east (S2-3). The site has since eroded away.
