Pillbox, type 22. In a fenced off enclosure adjacent to Guyer's Lock, on the N side of Enborne Bridge. Partly overgrown, especially on the canal side, from which it is hidden from view. The entrance side is completely covered with colourful graffiti (see slide). Internally untidy but otherwise appears structurally sound.
