Pillbox, no specification.
(Source: Field Visit 1994/09/13)
Concrete-faced hexagonal pillbox of local variant type designed for medium machine gun. Another similar, upturned lies a short distance away [see UORN 2758]. Two MG embrasures only, with exterior blocks beneath them. Doorways on E and W sides. Interior access possible, but filled with sand and shingle. Probably in its original position, i.e. it has not been moved by sea action.
