Concrete block built rectangular pillbox, one of two side by side (4ft apart) at this point with the footpath running between them [see also UORN 3282]. Because of the slope of the hill this pillbox stands slightly higher than its southern counterpart. It has two side by side embrasures in the E face. Doorway with attached loopholed blast wall on the NW corner. Overgrown with ivy. Interior access possible.
