Description
At the north end of Tilty Mill, north of the Mill Stream, is a detached cart shed with wooden ship-lapped sides and a corrugated iron roof. Inside the shed has been built a rectangular, brick and concrete, pillbox with its entrance in the south side. From the north and west the pillbox would have been invisible although the east wall of the shed is open, to originally allow cart access, and the pillbox can thus be clearly seen from this direction.
