Pill-box, which may date from World War I. One of a group of three pillboxes which stands lies on the landward side of the dunes of Balmedie Links, overlooking an area of level ground to the west. All three have brick walls with concrete roofs and floors. This is the southernmost pillbox (NJ 9766 1756) of the group, and is slightly larger with walls 0.9m thick. Its west, south and east faces respectively are pierced by a pair of embrasures, with single embrasures in its shorter southwest and southeast faces, and an entrance protected by a baffle in its north face. The interior of each of the pillboxes, which could not be entered on the date of visit, is sub-divided by a wall. See also NJ91NE0021 and NJ91NE0022. Site visit in 2022 as part of the SCAPE Coastal Zone Assessment Survey.
