A type 24 pillbox has been identified from postwar RAF vertical air photographs (58(A) 382, 5385-5386, flown 19 May 1948) immediately to the W of a short cutting on the disused railway to Locharbriggs.
The pillbox has almost certainly been removed by the construction of postwar houses in Arrol Drive.
