NMP mapping has led to the alteration of the central grid reference of the site from TG 3493 2475 to TG 3491 2478.

The World War Two Type 22 pillbox described above is visible as an extant structure on aerial photographs (S1)-(S3), centred at TG 3493 2475. It is also depicted by modern Ordnance Survey 1:2500 mapping. A small concrete structure visible 55m to the northwest (at TG 3489 2479) on aerial photographs taken in 1972 (S3) may equate to the spigot mortar pedestal also described above, but this is not entirely certain.
