A pillbox is situated at the top of a low rise at the SW corner of the airfield above what is now Sauchope caravan park. The structure is not depicted on the OS 1:10000 chart copy map (1972) but is shown on the current OS digital 1:2500 scale map. It is also visible on postwar RAF vertical air photographs (106G/Scot/UK5, 4080-4082, flown 14 April 1946).
