Full Description
Summarised from report:
Behind a WWII pillbox (TR 34 SW 419), and immediately upslope, is what may have been a small shelter for troops manning the pillbox. It is quite different to any other structure on the Western Heights, this poorly constructed building encloses a rectangular area 3.20m by 2.33m by 1.79m high, below an arched corrugated iron roof which is supported on low concrete walls. The roof is further protected on top by the addition of a thick concrete layer. The front of the structure is open with a length of steel railway track forming a lintel to the low entrance. Large metal rings close to the entrance are of unknown function. (1-2)
