There are bunkers and forts everywhere on the coast of Guernsey.
Fort Hommet has a number of bunkers mixed in with much earlier fortifications. One of the bunkers has been restored and still has the original 105mm gun.

The 4th photo from the end of the last post shows concrete camouflage.
An explanation of this was shown in the museum.
Pieces of the original concrete camouflage can be found on the ground near many of the bunkers.
