Details
The gun would have been lifted manually by the crew onto the centre circle that was for a larger gun. And the the large entrance would have had bulks of wood and or sandbags to fill in the gap. To enter the position you would pass through the right hand side entrance. It has a slight kink to stop splinters passing straight through and possibly hitting a crew member.
