Full Description
A World War II strongpoint is visible in 1941 at TM 52768405, at Hole Barn. The site comprised two pillboxes facing northeast (camoflaged as hay ricks) and a possible third located to the west, with sections of barbed wire around them (S1). By 1943, the strongpoint has gone out of use and the site is being reused. (S2)
