- Pillbox: EDoB ID: e44902 This is the most that can be seen of the pillbox, its main visible feature being its thick slab of a reinforced concrete roof. Interior views are also extremely restricted on account of the pillbox having had concrete poured into it (its excess is visible emerging from the opening), but I had a glimpse of what I assume is its anti-ricochet wall inside.
