This type 27 pillbox is visible on post-war RAF vertical air photographs (V/RAF/882, 67-8, flown 30 March 1954) 100m to the S of the main elements of the radar station.

Information from RCAHMS (DE), October 2002

A large type 27 brick and concrete pillbox is situated in an arable field about 70m S of the S perimeter fence line. It measures about 7.5m across with a flat concrete roof whilst the base is of brick.The building has eight sides each with a loophole with the entrance in the NE segment.

This pillbox is very similar to that found to the N (NJ96SW 30.07).
