Summary

The bunker is in fair condition, it has two entrance ways but these have both been back filled. The bunker is split inside in to two rooms. A ladder at one end suggests there may be a lower level but this area is full of brick back fill. Further investigation was not possible due to site conditions. May be the same structure as TR 23 NW 519
