I had originally set out to find a pillbox I seen from a boat but the day turned out to be much more interesting. Visited with Dumptyboy.
After finding Clambering down to the pillbox avoiding the ladder, there seemed to be a trench cut out in the ground. We followed it and it turned up some interesting finds. Not much can be found about the site apart from on the DOB it says searchilight emplacement. to me there seems to be a bit more. On with the pics.
Very Steep slippery steps down to bunker
Entrance Ladder
Small Hatch
Mounting Plinth
Corridor
Popeye

View From main hatch
Then We followed the trench onwards and came across this
Inside
Then directly behind was this
Apart from a small pillbox linked to it there was nothing of interest defence wise. Looking at the bases I can only assume it house motors or generators.
Motor Bases
Bars from window
Leding down from Pillbox
very good explore all in all. any info greatly appreciated! more pics to follow from dumptyboy.
