The circular World War One pillbox described above is visible on aerial photographs (S2), centred at TG 3493 2494. It is also depicted by modern Ordnance Survey 1:2500 mapping. It should be noted that due to an inadequate number of control points, the rectification of aerial photographs was poor, and this may have had an adverse effect on the accuracy of the mapping.
