Full Description
January 2026. Casual Observation.
Previously unrecorded World War Two pillbox noted by member of the public [1] at TL 87164 85300.
According to [2] it differs from the FW3/22 drawing and should be regarded as a variant of the standard Type 22 design - having an additional rifle embrasure flanking the entrance and lacking the internal anti-ricochet wall. It also has an applied camouflage scheme of concrete around the edge of the roof to break up its outline. These features make this a potentially significant structure.
See photographs (S1).
P. Watkins (HES), 20 January 2026.
