Circular pillbox built of stone using mortar and cement. It is possible it was an observation post rather than a pillbox. 5 metres in diameter. 2 metres tall. Embrasure (or look out) on E side (0.7m x 0.9m (high)). It had a roof which has now fallen in - timbers can be seen amongst rubble inside.
[with plan drawn on form].
