Pillbox - Type 26. Built against a mill building, and designed to blend in.
(Source: SMR )
Square, brick shuttered pillbox attached on its S side to the NW corner of the mill house and designed to blend with it. Three embrasures in the W, N, and E walls. The pointing of the exterior brick work is carried over the concrete embrasures as if once part of their camouflage. Flat concrete roof that was probably camouflaged with a pitched roof. On the E side (overgrown and now difficult of access) is the doorway protected by a low exterior blast wall. Remains of wooden firing shelves inside. Some of the exterior brickwork is spoiling. No access without permission - on private land owned by Breamore Mill.
