Rectangular pillbox, set in sea wall. This has been rebuilt since the construction of the pillbox. A square opening in the roof has been filled with sea shells. The opening may have been the original entrance to the pillbox. The single embrasure, which faces the sea, has a machine gun mounting inside [type of mounting not given].
