Type 24 modified pillbox. There are 7 embrasures on two levels (5 low and 2 high). The interior has a split level floor with access to the higher platform by two hoop steps. All have interior brackets to hold steel shutters in place and remains of peg and chain to prevent them sliding out. No shutters remain. With the exception of the two rear embrasures they all have a sloped recess (for ammunition ?) on the inside below the embrasure. Access is via a 3ft high doorway, but nothing remains of the door. There are remains of iron hinges and a vertical dead bolt recess. There is evidence that the pillbox was once painted brick red to blend in with the houses close by; it also appears that grass was planted on the roof for camouflage. The main arc of the pillbox is SE covering the approaches from Ballykinler Beach, with the 2 elevated embrasures covering up the hill to the N. The Hill Cottage Farm (J 44023621, UORN 10072) pillbox provides mutual support from a distance of 230m to the flank.
