Full Description
Remains of a pillbox. A small round concrete pillbox (Type 25 Armco pillbox) situated just below the road from Ferryden to Scurdie Ness. The pillbox has only one loophole, but inscribed in the concrete above the door is 'GORDON' - they were built for that battalion's Vickers medium machine guns. Recorded during coastal zone assessment survey carried out by SCAPE between February and March 2009. The pillbox is circa 5 m in diameter.
