Many believe this to be a large L-shaped pillbox with five embrasures on two faces and a single embrasure on the end of one of the projections. The entrance is in the centre of the inner part of the L. It is in fact a roofed Section Post. Section posts are essentially hardened trench works. Constructed to bulletproof standard, occasionally without a roof, they are long and have a large number of embrasures (eleven in this instance). Shelves on which guns and spare ammunition can be rested, made of wood or concrete are fitted below the embrasures.
