Pillbox, no specification.
(Source: Field Visit 1994/09/13)
Medium machine gun pillbox at head of beach. Its position may have been shifted by sea action as it is now set on boulders at the foot of the cliff. Two large MG embrasures with exterior blocks below them. Protected entrances on both the S and N sides (the latter blocked up to three-quarters of its height). The pillbox structure is badly cracked.
