Type 24 pillbox, now almost completely demolished. The remains consist of the concrete floor and part of the walls; in some places about 2ft of the walls remain. The basic type 24 shape can be seen, and the thickness of the walls is about 18ins. It was built to defend the beach at Daymer Bay in the entrance to the River Camel estuary leading into Padstow Harbour. It is almost directly opposite the coastal gun battery on the S side of the Camel estuary.
