Description from record 1428552:
Pillbox [Sector 4]. Cassini ref 583515. Hythe. (1)
There was no pillbox visible on the historical aerial photographs at the location given above (Source 1) but a pillbox (possibly a Type 24) was visible 211meters to the southwest at TR 1447 3328, which is likely to be the pillbox described above (Source 1). The pillbox is located at the head of the beach and is facing south but was subsequently demolished and was not visible on recent aerial photographs taken in 2003. This pillbox was mapped as part of the South East Rapid Coastal Zone Assessment NMP. (2-3)
