OS records this destroyed November 1988, yet the WWII Pill Box is extant albeit with a foot or more of soil/turf on top. So despite it being very dark when I arrived 70 mins after sunset, unlikely the bolt could easily be found. Parked in a farm yard off the B7077 ~1km due N (NX 1140 5579); walked in on a mapped track, tarmac till the runway was crossed, then a good grass track. There may have been another structure co-located, perhaps a WWII shelter, unsure in the dark. Took a couple of photos, but not wanting to use any light they turned out completey black - unsurprisingly!
