Disguised pillbox, Hemscott Hill
At first sight this appears to be a small stone cottage, but it has openings for guns to cover the area in view from its location at the crest of the road. See also NZ2894 : Cunningly Disguised WW2 Pill Box, Hemscott Hill and NZ2894 : Famous pillbox on Helmscott hill near Cresswell.
