A typical type 25 pillbox, built in situ using corrugated sheeting and concrete. It is 9ft in diameter and has a 2ft x 3ft entrance located at the rear. Behind this is a reinforced concrete wall 1.5ft thick to prevent cliff erosion engulfing the structure. 5 reinforcing rods are visible. 3 embrasures (15ins thick walls with 11ins thick roof). Due to cliff erosion it is now canted over at 25 degrees; 4.5ft protrude at the front. Inside there is a considerable amount of beach shingle and human rubbish. with PLAN
