The main structure is a circular 'pillbox' faced with brick with a square brick ventilation shaft on the roof with 2 lower brick extensions either side of the shaft, overlapping the circular structure and coming down to ground level. These housed the original doors. On the east side, but separate from the main structure there is a second brick ventilation shaft at ground level with a door and a metal beam to take a pulley for loading large or heavy items into the tunnels. All the brick is unpainted. This entrance appears not to be used at present.
