Full Description
Half-buried in the middle of a field north of Argents Lane is an concrete hexagonal pillbox. It has 3ft 6in thick walls, is 22ft across and has a 6ft wide anti-aircraft machine gun well. In the centre of the well the mounting plinth, together with its steel top fittings, is still extant. The entrance, almost completely buried, is in the south side. From this position the pillbox looks down the open field to the river some 200 yards to the NE.
