Full Description
Previously unrecorded World War Two spigot mortar pedestal ('thimble') noted by member of the public in 2024 [1]. This discovery was the subject of a post on the 'Pillbox Study Group' forum (S1). The concrete pedestal is circular with an intact stainless steel pin. As only the uppermost portion of the pedestal is currently exposed it is unclear whether other elements of the mortar emplacement survive.
P. Watkins (HES), 30 December 2024.
