Full Description
Remains of two World War II concrete buildings or structures. They stand within lower ground, a small 'pass' through the crest of the ridge to the east of pillbox NK02SW0011. Each comprises two thick concrete walls aligned circa northeast-southwest. The westernmost wall of the western pair of walls has firing loops facing northwest, and a central doorway leading to a lower flat-roofed extension which has a single firing loop and with several gun loops. In the structure at the east end, there are firing loops in the westernmost wall. The purpose of the structures are unknown, however it has been suggested that they form an observation and command post. A third structure, of brick construction, was observed in March 2025 exposed in the dune at NK00522377. This is polygonal in plan, of brick-faced concrete (comparable to NK02SW0011), with a concrete lintel, which appears to be an entrance then emerging from the sand.
