A concrete block was found behind the modern shingle bank and resting on the side of a hedgerow bank. Within this bank, to the south of the concrete, was a rectangular shaped patch of vegetation. Measuring about 8m by 4m, this shape may have indicated the presence of a buried Second World War pillbox or other structure.
