A regular hexagon pillbox, with 6 embrasures. It is well constructed of concrete with brick shuttering and external cement cladding (now partially eroded). The ground is level with the bottom of the embrasures, and the roof has a lip around it with drainage holes. In the centre of the roof is a 2.5ft deep square hole [possibly an anti-aircraft or antenna mount?]. Access is by an offset half doorway protected by semi-sunken exterior blast walls. The main arc of the pillbox is SE to E.
