High on a hillside, half buried in the thicket of a field boundary, a concrete, hexagonal pillbox looks out across the valley to the east. From this position, the view is particularly wide encompassing Chappel viaduct, the River Colne and Colchester Road on the east side of the river, to the high ground beyond the road. It is an anti-aircraft type with a central machine-gun well which retains its mounting pedestal and steel fittings. The pillbox measures approx. 21ft 4in across.
