Description
On the east side of the railway, overlooking falling ground to the east, is an FW3/ 24 hexagonal pillbox. <1>
1996. Field visit.
Clearly, it has been used as a railway hut as it is white-washed inside, has two rows of coat hooks, the remains of a wooden door frame around the entrance, and the south loophole has been enlarged to accommodate a window frame - now fallen out. Two photos of site. <2>
