MATERIALS: reinforced concrete with yellow stock brick shuttering.
DESCRIPTION: a rectangular anti-tank gun pillbox (also known as a gun-house) of type 28 design with a pair of large rectangular embrasures to house a single two or six-pounder quick-firing gun, supported by smaller infantry embrasures. The concrete roof has a chamfered edge with a late-C20 timber trellis and balustrade on top. The blast wall which would have originally protected the large entrance has been removed.
