Description from record TQ 77 SE 1315:
The pillbox is a low, octagonal building measuring c.4m in diameter, constructed of reinforced concrete. The interior is entered by way of an iron door on the southern side of the building, and an iron ladder gives access to the flat roof, which is edged with iron railings. A large, square, central well through the roof provided for the mounting of a light anti-aircraft gun, which no longer survives. Each of the eight walls is pierced by rectangular machine gun slits, protected on the inside by top hung, iron shutters. The floor is of concrete sleepers interspersed with wooden beams.
