A structure of possible Second World War date was visible on aerial photographs of the 1940s onwards, on the south-east facing slopes of Stoke Hill, north-west of Rixlade. The building was roughly 5 metres square and was situated approximately 30 metres from the road. The function of the building is unknown but it closely resembles military buildings such as pillboxes, and might have had a military function. The building remains visible on digital images derived from aerial photographs of 2010, albeit in a possibly semi-ruinous condition, and is depicted on the current Ordnance Survey Mastermap base mapping. As such it has not been transcribed by the survey.
