Full Description
Straddling the hedge of a field boundary approx. 50 yards from the west bank of the River Colne is a 19ft 6in wide concrete, hexagonal pillbox. It has small loopholes and a low entrance on the west side. Earth and grass has piled on the top in an attempt to camouflage the pillbox from the air. Immediately behind is a water-filled ditch which has necessitated a low concrete wall around the entrance to stop water entering into the interior.
