A type 22 pillbox located in a field on a hillside. It is built of brick with a concrete roof and central column. The shelves under the embrasures are still in position. Part of a wooden door frame remains. Part of the concrete roof has collapsed to reveal metal reinforcement rods.
There are good views over the surrounding countryside from this pillbox.

Hexagonal pillbox. Brick-cladding with a W-facing doorway. There is a small embrasure on either side of the doorway. The embrasures are brick with concrete lintels. The pillbox is badly damaged. Originally there was a searchlight site in the area. The pillbox was bombed when the enemy tried to put out the light [it is no stated if this bombing caused the present damage].
