Pillbox which is partly destroyed, and left in a condition which makes its removal likely. It is also badly overgrown. It faced W and was faced with pebbles. Sections of its walls have been destroyed, revealing the brick anti-ricochet wall. Corrugated iron sheets from the roof shuttering are exposed.
