Full Description
In Spout Lane, near Little Cornard. Rectangular pillbox built into side of sunken lane. Description of owner of land,
"There is no basement below the window [sic] level, although there could have been given the height of the structure above the lane. There are 3 windows [embrasures], looking up the lane, down it and across it. There is also a firing step at the entrance back into the garden. The entrance is open, a walk-in gap in the back wall. This leads into an L-shaped space, the short leg of which is roofed and has a low opening on the right, a crouch-down rather than a crawl-in, into the space which faces across and up the lane".
