There is a pillbox in the (private) cove to the south of Torcross. About SX82324189. Not visited, but apparently washed by the sea, so under threat.

No evidence of the pillbox is visible at this grid reference but a possible structure may be visible 25m to the southeast on aerial photographs of 1941.
