Full Description
Remains of a possible Type 24 pillbox visible on aerial photographs taken circa 1941. To the south of the pillbox is a short length of anti-tank blocks. Coastal zone assessment survey carried out by SCAPE between February and March 2009 recorded the partially collapsed remains of a brick-built pillbox with concrete slabs. Part of the structure remains in place in the dunes, but much has collapsed onto the beach.
