The heavy machine gun emplacement and a second possible military structure is visible on aerial photographs of the dunes to the north of Castle Farm, Eccles-on-Sea (S1-2). This emplacement, which faces east, possibly provided enfilading fire along the beach. The site is centred on TG 4169 2855.
The roof of the heavy machine gun emplacement is visible on the aerial photographs as a 3m square flat concrete platform located at TG 4170 2855 (S. The roof and part of the front face are visible on oblique aerial photographs taken in 1940 (S1), although the structure is heavily camouflaged. To the immediate west at TG 4169 2855 is a further possible military structure. This is not visible in 1940 (S1) and it’s presence in 1946 is only indicated by an angular area of shadow on the aerial photographs (S2), suggesting a tall, roughly rectangular structure. Although any further interpretation or assessment is not possible from the available aerial photographs.
