Abstract: |
An historic building survey was undertaken by Headland Archaeology at Mossetburn overbridge, Forres of a WW11 Type 22 pillbox. The survey comprised a descriptive and photographic survey of the structure prior to its demolition as part of the upgrade of the Aberdeen to Inverness rail link. The survey identified that the structure was a typical Type 22 pillbox of hexagonal plan with rifle loopholes in five of the walls and an entrance and small opening on the remaining wall. The walls of the pillbox were constructed of large stone blocks covered with a thick concrete roof topped with turf. The internal area was divided into two areas separated by a concrete dividing wall that incorporated a Y-shaped blast wall at the entrance. Limited internal fixtures and fittings were recorded |
