The machine gun bunker provided protection for the soldiers within. The conditions in which they operated were very difficult. The position was generally hot and cramped.

This bunker was sited to protect the 12-pounder guns on Berlayer Point – on the hill right above.

Another machine gun bunker is located behind the public toilet further down, along the foot of the hill.
