A pillbox has been indentified from post-war vertical air photographs (RAF 106G/Scot/UK 55 part I, 5038-40, flown 8 May 1946) just above the high water mark about 34m E of a target shed depicted on the OS 1:10000 map.

The pillbox or blockhouse is visible on RAF WW II oblique aerial photographs (S 223, 58-59, flown 17 June 1946), as a Y-shaped concrete structure. It is situated just above the high tide mark and on a single line of anti-tank blocks and to the NE of a firing range (NO53SE 37) on the Barry Buddon training area. The pillbox is seen more clearly on large scale postwar vertical air photographs noted above (ibid).
