I am new to this type of design of walls, haven't come across any before. Not really sure if it's a pillbox, but the tunnel is similar to the one found at 411, only without the top part.

Top left: mini tunnel

Top right: brickwork at the bottom of the of the two walls left standing

Bottom: the two walls with indents and patterned wide bands.

 

Mystery fort and mini tunnel [????- ]

The marker is for the fort/pillbox, whereas the mini tunnel is just below it.

It's composed of a mini tunnel, a part of wall which we often seen at pillboxes, then comes two thick walls that look like it's been built above a boulder at one end, and some bricks on the other end.

Not sure to whom do these ruins belong to, although the mini tunnel looks a bit like the one at PB411.

There are some indents on one of the thick walls, with a wide patterned band along the top of the two walls, I haven't seen this type of design before.

Although someone wrote 426 on the tree trunk, the location belongs to Pillbox 425.

More recent stone work had narrowed the original window, possiblyduring one of the refugee crises, as was the case with other abandoned military structures.

A screen shot from my video so apoliogies for the lack of definition.  The wall alongside the steps and short path up from the pillbox is visible on the left.
