(Source: Field Visit 1995/08)
Concrete pillbox which has rolled down the cliffs owing to erosion.

Overturned pillbox lying on beach. Whether it was originally set at the head of the beach or has fallen from higher up on the cliffs is uncertain [probably the former]. It is of the medium machine gun type with concrete blocks set externally below the embrasures.
