A series of pillboxes and anti-tank blocks run around the bay. At NJ 1038 6584, there is a pillbox sliding down the dunes.

A WW II pillbox is situated immediately behind the line anti-tank blocks which run S from Burghead along the coast (from NJ 1044 6500 to NJ 1133 6854) above the Mean High Water springs and immediately in front of the dune system. The line of defences continues W to Findhorn.
The pillbox is one of four in this section (NJ16NW 70.01 - NJ16NW 70.04) and is visible on a wartime oblique air photograph (RAF 241F, B8, flown 26 February 1941). The pillbox is shown on the OS digital 1:2500 scale map.
