Pre fabricated pillbox

The remains of a pre fabricated concrete pillbox built into the embankment of the Kennet and Avon Canal, Bradford on Avon, about three hundred yards away from its brick neighbour and covered a half mile of the canal towards Trowbridge and the main road to its front. Attacking forces would have been caught in a crossfire from these two pillboxes and two more, now demolished which stood in the fields above and behind them.

The entrance is just visible through the greenery at bottom left.
