WW2 pillbox stands isolated in a field. Looks concrete but too far from the path to be certain; looks in good condition. Presumably it was to cover the roads, A609 and A6002. (1)

Pillbox (type FW3/22). The pillbox is situated approximately 100yds from the A609 in the middle of a field with the entrance facing north. Approx 25yds to the north is a low rectangular wall which is possibly the remains of a machine gun site [not confirmed, photograph included]. The pillbox is hexagonal, concrete. Each wall 7ft x 7ft, entrance 4ft high x 2ft wide. Internal square pillar. Two complete concrete shelves and three broken. Machine gun site 10ft x 3ft concrete and brick wall.A type 22 pillbox located in a field facing main road into Nottingham. Possibly built to guard road. Some of the shelves under the embrasures survive. About 60ft away there is a rectangular concrete trough type construction. It measures approx 10ft long x 2ft wide and appears not to be a trough but connected to the pillbox. All concrete type 22 pillbox. Half-height entrance at rear. Two small embrasures either side of the entrance. Small central column. No blast wall. (2)
