Full Description
Pill-box from World War II. It is a type 24, but only three sides and loop-holes are visible as it has become partially buried in the sand. Nothing was visible at this location during site visit in 2022 as part of the SCAPE Coastal Zone Assessment Survey, although noted that it had been described in 2013 as being almost overwhelmed by sand.
