Monument record MDO42556 - The reported position of a Second World War pillbox on Bincleaves Groyne (Portland Northern Breakwater), Rodwell, Weymouth

The Pillbox Study group list the location of a Second World War pillbox on Bincleaves Groyne, Portland Harbour, directly opposite the Hard and landing stages.

The site is recorded from a 1947 oblique aerial photograph, and the PSG note that the presence of particularly large embrasures suggest it may have been an observation post. Although not separately described, the pillbox may form part of a Grade II listed structure (National Heritage List number 1313401). The listed NGR reference for this monument may need refining.
