Type 22 pillbox, with variants. The ground plan is of standard construction, but an AA mounting has been added on the roof and a brick parapet built. There is an internal blast wall, but none external. Small holes either side of the doorway suggest it once had a metal door. Faces W. Although there is no immediate or obvious threat to this pillbox, two other pillboxes in the area have been partially destroyed in recent months [2000/2001].
