A square pillbox similar to a type 26, which had a propane gas cylinder placed on the concrete roof. The pillbox was DEMOLISHED in April 2001. The yard owner had indicated to the recorder he was going to do this. The pillbox was either entirely of brick (with concrete embrasures) or brick-shuttered.
