A type CP/6/40/111 pillbox at the Sands of Wright, Orkney. Thought to have been moved from it’s original position.
Pillbox, roofless. It has been incorporated into the fence line and has three strands of fencing wire which have been wound around the pillbox. The fence has now been moved. It is likely that this pillbox is ex-situ.
This pillbox shows some signs of damage probably from small arms fire.
In the angle of the junction of Holm Branch road and New Scapa road, Kirkwall.
Norcon pillbox, with flat roof with hatch. Small circular Norcon type concrete pillbox built into the remains of a broch.
