- Pillbox: DoB ID: S0007775 One of two pillboxes at this location, the other is in woodland approximately 160 metres SE. Situated on the southern edge of the airfield, they would have been part of the airfield defences of RAF Hooton Park. An unusual feature of this particular pillbox are the two large deep cut-away corner embrasures, with their wide splays. Image
