Full Description
A small concrete rectangular building, constructed some time after July 1940. The structure is only roofed on one side, suggesting it might be a Type 23 pillbox, which enabled a gun to be placed in its open half. (S1) (S2) (S3)
Remains of the structure are still visible in 1965. (S4)
