Description: Pillbox formed by a domed metal turret that could be rotated 360 degrees, above a bricklined pit. Designed for a machine gun to be fired through the front loophole that would have been protected by shutters. A circular hole in the roof acted as an anti-aircraft defence. Probably not in its original location as there is no sign of its mount. Metal badly corroded.
