Type 22 brick [sic] pillbox, faces SW.
(Source: Field Visit 1992/03/28)
Concrete-faced pillbox, with 2 x 'pimples' on its SSW side see UORN 7064]. Pillbox faces SSW. Central cruciform concrete pillar. Low crawl-through entrance with embrasure above. In use (1985) as a horse fodder store.
(Source: Field Visit 1985)
Type 22 concrete pillbox with two anti-tank 'pimples' close by. This pillbox was being used as a bat sanctuary, with blocked embrasures and a metal door. However, it has been vandalised: an embrasure has been smashed out, the door is hanging off its hinges, and the free-standing exterior blast wall has been pushed over. [A local man told the recorder that during WW2 there were concrete road blocks at this road junction, long since removed].
