This aqueduct carried the Taunton & Chard Canal over the River Tone at Ruishton.

  

This is a corrugated iron shuttered Type 24 pillbox.   It is overgrown and sunken into the canal bed immediately to the right of the aqueduct in the previous photo.  I have taken a couple of shots of what can still be seen.

  

Here is the entrance which has a loophole either side.
