Full Description

{1} Rectangular surface shelter with one entrance in each end protected by a blast wall. There are two vents just below the roof slab in the front and rear walls. The east entrance has a door of thin steel sheet on a timber frame which may be an original. The other entrance is secured by a steel sheet screwed to the walls. The shelter was built against an existing boundary wall on the west side of the yard. This has subsided away from the shelter. The pillbox has now been destroyed.
