Pillbox 24, according to documentary evidence (Royal Fusiliers' map). Of rectangular plan and concrete block construction; however, the seaward (southern) outer face was camouflaged by adding a layer of mortared rough slabs and rubble, leaving only the embrasures clear. In private (i.e. not Duchy) ownership shared between the two houses to its rear and used by them as a store for domestic goods. Scheduled as SM 15531, AI 147181.
