2. The Pillbox dates to the early period of World War II (AD 1940-41) and is an irregular hexagon in shape. It measures circa 4.7m in length NW-SE by 3.8m transversely and a maximum of 2.75m in height externally. The walls measure 0.38m in thickness and stones placed vertically on their ends have been cemented into place on top of the roof as camouflage to break up the pillbox's silhouette.
