Summary

[edit]
Description

Presumed WW2 pillbox at Sudbrook.

Construction is of brick below ground with a cast concrete upper part. This 360º embrasure is similar to that of the cantilever pillbox, with a tapered slot opening towards the inside. However there is no central support pillar and the lid appears to have originally been supported on a number of steel girders between upper and lower parts. These have since been cut, allowing the lid to collapse downwards, and the slit grouted with cement.

The pillbox is located on the ramparts of the iron age hillfort, giving a commanding view across the Severn and what is now the location of the Second Severn Crossing.
