Thick walled type 24 brick clad concrete pillbox. Five embrasures and entrance in longest wall to rear, it does not appear to be flanked by embrasures. Internal anti ricochet wall is intact. Pillbox stands on a concrete raft and on the roof concrete slabs have been placed in an irregular fashion [possibly as a form of camouflage].
