First World War pillbox (BA30b), south of Auburn Farm

This is a First World War pillbox for riflemen, likely constructed in 1917. It is made of in-situ poured reinforced concrete and has a square plan.

The pillbox is one of a pair positioned parallel to each other on either side of a northwest/southeast aligned hedge, and it is a mirror image of the other. The structure features a doorway in the northwest (rear) wall, a single narrow-splayed rifle embrasure in both the northeast and southeast walls, while the southwest wall, adjacent to the hedge, is blind. There is a slot for a timber lintel above the doorway, and the jambs are notched to accommodate a timber door frame. The roof consists of a flat concrete slab, which has an off-set cut section of ceramic pipe that serves as a circular vent.

Inside, the pillbox has a concrete floor, and the walls are smooth with visible horizontal plank shuttering marks. There are no internal features or fittings.
