Full Description
Facing across the River Colne from a meadow on its west bank is a concrete, hexagonal pillbox. It measures 19ft 6in in width with 11ft long walls and has a low entrance porch, which is partially blocked, on its SW side. There are six small loopholes, one in each face. Earth, which has now grassed over, has been piled on top of the pillbox as a disguise against air attack.
