The pillbox is adjacent to the Ipswich to London railway line. It is situated at the foot of the embankment. Unusually it has a 360 degree firing range. It has an embrasure above the low doorway with a low blast wall protecting the occupant's legs and torso whilst firing. It is currently serving the community as a rubbish collection point. The railing are there to stop people using it to access the railway track. http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4378655
