Full Description
Pillbox.
At junction of tracks, set back from road but with views along it in two directions. Original form seems to have been two chambers in a butterfly shape, with gun loops to northeast and southwest along road. Concrete over iron reinforcing; the roof has been removed.
Now used as rubbish bins for stables.
E. Rose (NLA), 18 July 1994.

May 2003. Norfolk NMP.
Large rectangular type 20V pillbox visible on RAF aerial photographs from 1946 (S1). The structure appears to measure 6.5m by 5.5m and is located at TG 1196 4134. It is hard to tell due to tree coverage, but the part of the roof appears to be gone by April 1946.
S. Massey (NMP), 20 May 2005.
April 2004.
Still extant.
E. Rose (NLA), 13 April 2004.
