A square shaped building with a concrete roof. The roof concrete is highly impregnated with stones. The OP faces N and most probably interacted with the 3 pillboxes on the reverse side of the knoll (facing S) which are part of the Chesil Beach defences. Inside there is a small fireplace with chimney exiting through the concrete roof. A large window at front with entry door next to it.
