An aerial photograph taken in July 1946 shows the hexagonal shape of a pillbox standing on a field boundary to the NW of Creek Cottages on the Naze. <1>

The hedgeline is particularly wide at this point. Beneath the bushes there is a substantial amount of moss-covered concrete, apparently the remains of the pillbox. The current owner of the site reports that it was blown up shortly after the end of the war. <2>
