The World War Two Type 24 pillbox described above is visible as an extant structure on aerial photographs (S2) and (S3), centred at TG 3154 2723. It is also depicted by modern Ordnance Survey 1:2500 mapping. It would have formed part of the line of defences that was erected along the River Ant stop line. It is one of a number of such structures at Briggate, clustered around the road and rail crossings over the Ant; for example, further pillboxes are located 180m to the north (NHER 21553) and 435m to the northwest (NHER 17019). This particular example faces southeast along White Horse Lane, covering the approach from Briggate Common.
