A regular hexagon pillbox, with 6 embrasures. Well constructed of concrete with brick shuttering and external cement cladding. All the embrasures and the door are blocked up, although there are small gaps through which the remains of a single Turnbull mount is visible. The lipped roof still retains its turf. The main arc of the pillbox is to the S.
