Summary
A pillbox a few yards from the anti-tank ditch of the GHQ Line.
Full description
An aerial photograph taken in 1946 shows the partial outline of a pillbox among trees a few yards from the anti-tank ditch of the GHQ Line. This is entirely logical and follows the natural pillbox defences. <1> Nothing of it now remains - the area is now the NE corner of The Tyrrell's County Primary School playing field.
