There are five standard FW3/24 pattern pillboxes set into the defensive line of blocks. This pillbox is in the best condition, closest to its original as-built configuration - brick construction, double skinned, however its internal anti-ricochet wall has been removed. The exterior has been painted white at some time, but most of the paint now flaked and weathered.
