Full description
Horner, W., 1998, Possible Pillbox on Leas Foot Sand (Worksheet). SDV357461.
Square concrete slab on the north side of Leas Foot Sand. Set into the top of the beach cliff and coast path passes over it. Possibly a pillbox base or even roof. Alternatively may be a shaft cap ('shafts' marked on 1907 Ordnance Survey maps in this area).
Horner, W., 1998, Untitled Source (Personal Comment). SDV141983.
Possible pillbox roof or base on north side of Leas Foot Sand. A square pad of concrete over which the coast path passes. Possibly associated with nearby 'Shafts' on early OS maps rather than military (ie. capping) but would be a complimentary position to pillbox to the south (see PRN 59239).
Ordnance Survey, 2014, MasterMap (Cartographic). SDV355681.
