A twin embrasure type 28A pillbox firing N and S.
(Source: Article 1994/12)
Concrete anti-tank gun emplacement. This gun emplacement has been fired against at some time by a high velocity armour piecing weapon as it is penetrated at one point, and the concrete cratered [tests 1944/45?].
(Source: Field Visit 1998/07/05)
Large, square anti-tank gun emplacement with two main embrasures facing N and W respectively (now blocked with bricks). Cut off corners and chamfered roof edge. The number '3691' is painted at the entrance. Two side chambers with dividing walls and LMG embrasures. Evidence in W and E walls of damage by shell-fire practice. Used as an animal shelter. Across field from footpath, but public access, including interior, seems reasonable.
