This monument is of national importance as one of an ever-decreasing number of pillboxes which have survived intact from the Second World War. It is also one where the defensive and strategic importance of the structure and its site, overlooking Findhorn Bay, can still be appreciated. Although pillboxes were not of uniform design or construction this is a particularly good representative example of a type of building which formed a vital component of the anti-invasion measures implemented by Britian during the Second World War.
