This defence post is inside the SRD at Norton Fitzwarren, Taunton. The United States Army took over the SRD in 1942.  

[Map ref. ST 200257]

  

There is a wide embrasure in each of the four walls giving an almost uninterrupted all-round field of fire.  The mid-section of the structure is concrete and the top and bottom sections brick.

  

From this angle you can see through the four embrasures.

  

A few of the vast number of storage sheds and other buildings that still exist and are now being used by various businesses.
