Circular concrete 'water-pipe' type pillbox, with embrasures cast around the top edge. Embrasures now blocked. Similar to a Norcon pillbox, but smaller. Local information states that it was converted for use as an incinerator, and now has an extra layer of bricks on the inside. Ex-situ. Original location unknown.
