The bunker's hatch structure is all that remains of this Royal Observer Corps bunker - and the bunker itself has been filled in relatively recently with stones and rubble to prevent access. The reason for this bunker's location is obvious, with its view over the Loughor estuary towards Swansea. The reason for the infilling of the bunker way well be due to the proximity of the newly built housing nearby, seen in this image, though a number of nearby bunkers have also been blocked in a similar way by landowners in recent years.
