Hexagonal concrete pillbox. Two entrances lie either side of a square projection on the side of the airfield. The 'Y' shaped anti-ricochet wall is very thin and of an unusual design. The thickness of the walls is not constant, being thicker either side of an embrasure. Inside the door and embrasures the pillbox retains traces of sand and olive drab coloured paint.
