Full Description
Oct 1996: A double-ended pillbox bisects the earth and grass-covered sea wall overlooking Pyefleet Channel to the south and marshes to the north. Approx. 6ft of each end projects from the bank with a small post-war retaining wall on the top. All the loopholes are closed. The concrete is coming off the face of the pillbox at each end.
Two photos of site.<1>
Aug 2008: The condition of the pillbox appears not to have changed during the past 12 years.
