A pillbox of Second World War date is visible as a possibly earthwork faced structure on Dawlish Warren golf course, on aerial photographs of the 1940s and 1950s. It was one of at least four pillboxes that comprised part of the coastal anti-invasion defences on Dawlish Warren, forming an arc of pillboxes to the rear, or west, of beach scaffolding and barbed wire obstructions. The pillbox is not visible on later aerial photographs and was probably demolished by the end of the 1960s.
