It is associated with the western end of an anti tank ditch (Monument 1542687) and, along with the anti tank ditch and several other pillboxes, is part of the supporting defences of a Stop Line (Monument 1542577) constructed in 1940 across the south western third of the Hoo Peninsula, from the Medway to the south bank of the Thames.
