Full Description
Pillbox. Quite rare type 2, very overgrown. Date about 1940.
Survey Number D2-42.
Possibly confused with site NHER 15819 on earlier NHER entry.
Form in file.

World War Two pillbox visible on RAF aerial photographs from 1946 (S1). The pillbox is located at TG 1160 4293 and is a type 2/20 measuring 6m by 4m. The 1946 images do not show the area particularly clearly; however on Ordnance Survey aerial photographs from 1969 a small, 1m by 1.5m, rectangular structure is clearly visible to the immediate east centred on TG 1160 4293. It is not clear whether this structure is also present on the 1946 images, although it does seem to be placed in line with the southeastern firing line of the pillbox. This may suggest that it is a later structure.
S. Massey (NMP), 30 June 2003.
