A linear mark is visible on an RAF 1946 aerial photograph enclosing an area of ground to the rear of pillbox (SY28NW/66). The feature runs from the top of the beach-back slope at SY 20898817 inland to SY 20858817, and then appears to link with the end of the line of concrete posts (SY28NW/58). This feature could be a filled in defensive perimeter ditch or could indicate differential vegetation growth beneath former barbed wire entanglements. The pillbox is still extant.
