A tall type 22 variant, built on the crest of high ground to give fire in both directions.

At some point the entrance was modified by blocking up the top half and inserting a sixth loophole, a porch with a dog leg was added to the reduced height entrance. While this would have added to the protection of the pillbox it must have made exiting in a hurry rather difficult!
