Description
A non-standard Second World War pillbox, probably of 1940 date.
MATERIALS: constructed of brick, with concrete embrasures with iron shields, and a concrete roof.
PLAN: rectangular on plan with canted corners to the north east and south west, the building has a low projecting blast entry at the south-east corner. It is divided into two areas by a brick partition.
EXTERIOR: the pillbox has two rectangular embrasures to each side, at varying heights, with concrete lintels and cills. The brickwork around the south-east corner embrasure is partially collapsed revealing more of the iron shield. Both the main block and the attached blast entry have concrete roofs.
