Pillbox on Grune Point Or to give its full title "Cumberland Machine-Gun and Anti-Tank Rifle Emplacement". Uniquely constructed from sandbags filled with concrete; the hessian of the sacks has rotted away long since. The cairn on the top is a memorial to four firemen who drowned in an open boat in December 1956 during a rescue attempt following a report of a wildfowler stranded on the marshes. The report subsequently prove to be a false alarm.
