- None recorded
Full Description
PRN 46710
During a walkover survey a Second World War pillbox was observed in the north-western field of the application site, with its entrance on the north-east face. This may be an example of the Lincolnshire variant of the War Office Type FW3/23; the entrance leads to chambers on either side, with another small chamber beyond the entrance. The structure was not examined but it appears to be in good preservation. Part of a thin mortared panel 'wall' survives around the roof of the pillbox; this could be an original feature but may relate to subsequent use of the structure. {1}{2}
