Description
The structure is a pillbox and anti-tank pimple located to the west of the Knoll Beach car park. The pillbox is made of reinforced, shuttered concrete and has an irregular hexagon shape. It is built on a large concrete base. There are openings, known as embrasures, on the east, north-east, and south-east sides, while the entrance on the west side has been sealed with concrete to prevent access. The anti-tank pimple to the south-west is part of a series of defensive blocks that were placed across the trackway. It features a pyramidal top and still shows some of its original camouflage paint.
