Lozenge-shaped pillbox.
(Source: Field Visit 1996/04/29)
Hexagonal concrete pillbox (shaped like a lozenze) of variant form. Almost entirely buried under sand. If excavated, it would probably be complete and in 'Good' condition. Faces sea (E). Main face is pierced for a central MG embrasure, with a rifle port on each side. A MG embrasure is in each of the flanking faces.
