Summary

Description

Light Anti-aircraft position. Between two sports fields, near A325. Brick shuttering with thick reinforced concrete measures about 10ft x 10ft and is just over 6ft high on a substantial concrete base. There is no entrance and to the casual observer, it is not obvious that it has an open top. Inside is a vertical post for mounting a light machine gun (probably Bren or Lewis) providing limited defensive firepower against low flying enemy aircraft attacking the nearby Army barracks and stores.
