Rectangular anti-tank gun emplacement. Overgrown in part. Doorway on NW side. Main embrasure (blocked) faces SE. LMG side chamber on the W side with three embrasures (mostly blocked). One additional LMG embrasure. Some graffiti in interior. Chamfered roof edges on all sides except rear. Cut off corners. A slot in the concrete floor presumably took the trail of the 2pdr gun carriage. Another similar emplacement is close by [UORN 11971]. Access possible, including interior - by public footpath.
