A roughly square flat-roofed structure, circa 4 metres in plan, is visible on aerial photographs taken from 1947 onwards. It is not depicted on 19th century mapping, and its size, form and the date of the photographs on which it is first visible suggests that it could be a Second World War pillbox. However it could be a 20th century agricultural building.
Ordnance Survey, 2017, MasterMap (Cartographic). SDV359962.
