What is recorded here
Concrete pill box built, c.1940, with openings to north and south. Set back from the road and built into a slope.
Overlooking the approaching road from Carrick-on-Shannon, this defensive structure is a reminder of mid-twentieth century history. Constructed in concrete during the Second World War, this pill box is a rare feature in the Irish landscape. It is of technical and historical significance.
