Type 28A twin embrasure anti-tank pillbox, built to the W of the anti-tank ditch.
(Source: Article 1994/12)
Massive square anti-tank gun emplacement with two large embrasures for 2pdr. anti-tank gun, facing E and N respectively. The embrasures are blocked in with brick, but the entrance (on the S side) is open. The corners of the emplacement are 'cut off' and the roof edge chamfered. The W and S faces show evidence of having been fired at with a high velocity weapon. Inside, there is a dividing wall creating a side chamber with two embrasures for LMG fire. In addition, there are two LMG embrasures in the main body of the emplacement. Used as cattle shelter. Public access, and interior - next to footpath.
