The surviving Second World War pillbox described above is visible as a structure on aerial photographs (S2). It is clear from 1940s aerial photographs such as (S3) that it was originally hidden within a field boundary that has since been removed. On aerial photographs taken in February 1946 (S4) there are possibly some additional Second World War defences further along the hedge line to the west, but these could equally relate to agricultural activity and have not been mapped.
The location of this pillbox has been moved 26m to the east [1].
