A square concrete pillbox was recorded within the farmstead at Louth Park. It is believed to have been used as an operations post associated with the Operation Diver defence network. {1}{2}
The pillbox was still extant when visited by the Defence of Britain project in the late 1990s. No trace of the structure can now be discerned on more recent aerial photography, however, or on Google Streetview, and it may have since been demolished. {3}
