Type 24 variant pillbox, with thickened walls, and with embrasures in front and side walls only which are small externally but generously splayed internally and with semi-circular concrete machine gun tables. There is no interior anti-ricochet wall, but a pillar 1ft square from roof to roof just inside the entrance. Three-quarter inch reinforcing rods in the walls extend to about 6ins above the roof and may perhaps have been used to retain an earthen covering or to anchor camouflage netting. The pillbox stands about 2 feet from the chapel's south wall [see plan attached].
