Contemporary records state, "Pillbox. Nr. Tower in Meadow nr. Malthouse Arms, Hythe. Map ref. 469421."(Mil. Ed.).<1>

An aerial photograph taken in 1946 shows a meadow on the S side of the Malthouse Arms beside the River Colne with what is probably the tower in its centre. The pillbox cannot be seen but may have been underneath a large tree some yards to the SE of the tower – this must have been a water tower as the owner of the meadow, given in War Time Contraventions, is stated as South Essex Waterworks Co.<2>

This meadow is now a woodyard.
