Contemporary records state,"Pillbox and dannert wire. O.S. No. 494, Seed Nursery, Colchester By-pass. Map ref. 427438." (Mil. Ed.) <1>

A low level aerial photograph taken in 1948 shows an hexagonal pillbox with its entrance on the NW face standing in a field S of Cymbeline Way and E of Hubert Road. There is an anti-aircraft machine-gun well in its centre. An aerial photograph taken in 1960 shows it to have been demolished by that date.<2><3>

The pattern of the pillbox appears to have been the same as SMR 10945 (MCC4770).
