The remains of a Type 22 pillbox, described above, may be visible as debris on aerial photographs taken in 1972 (S1), centred at TG 5034 1873. Alternatively, the debris might instead be of modern, non-military origin, and the pillbox remains may be those of NHER 16792, located 200m to the south. The extent of the debris has been mapped, but due to a lack of adequate control points for accurate photo rectification, its location must be regarded as approximate.
