Full Description
Pill box.
Concrete with outer brick skin partly fallen.
Polygonal.
First noted by pillbox survey.
Grid ref by E. Rose (NAU) 18 July 1985.
See (S1) which adds:
Pillbox of unknown type, possibly destroyed during construction of Downham Market Southern Bypass.
Survey No. J3-2.
D. Walker (NLA) July 1996.
This would not have been destroyed by the construction of the bypass, but was marked on old mapping between two waterfilled pits.
New mapping shows no pits but two houses on the site.
Not yet visited to check if pillbox survives in garden.
E. Rose (NLA), 3 June 2004.
