Full Description
This feature is recorded in the English Heritage report on the Second World War Stop Line in the Hoo Peninsula. The report states:"A Second World War artillery pillbox was recorded from aerial photographs dating to between 1944 and 1947. The pillbox is located adjacent to the east side of the anti-tank ditch and is probably part of its supporting defences. A shed extension has been added to this structure at a later date. Condition: This structure is visible on Google Earth aerial photographs in 2010 and it can still be partly seen on the 2013 coverage. A field visit in May 2015 confirmed that it is still extant. The pillbox is located adjacent to the road with the shed extension to the rear." (1)
