A Second World War pillbox (see above) can be seen as a structure on aerial photographs (S2-S3). The pillbox is not visible on aerial photographs from 1995 (S3) and is presumed to have been removed. The feature appears to be hexagonal in from on the aerial photographs and may have related to a Type 22 pillbox.
