A pillbox variant, sometimes termed a 'Suffolk Square'. Very overgrown.
(Source: Field Visit 2000/03/26)
Medium machine gun position 'left end of hedge', covering beach at a range of 850 yards. Documentary source. Cassini ref. 94889215. Possibly relates to this site. [Observation post UORN 16018 is either the same site or immediately adjacent].
(Source: Document 1941/08/28)
Pillbox, so overgrown it is almost impossible to see it even at close quarters: no details can be made out. Probably square, and almost certainly faces S.
(Source: Field Visit 2002/07/02)
Square structure plotted from OS 1:2500 sheet.
