It is located at the southern end of Unai Lagua (Parrot Fish Beach), which stretches along the northern shore of the island.
The pillbox is fashioned out of poured concrete and coral boulders, and uses natural rock formations as part of its walls.
The use of natural materials and terrain had the added benefit of rendering the position nearly invisible to aerial or offshore observation.
[2] The pillbox was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985;[1] it is also a contributing element to the "Landing Beaches; Aslito/Isley Field; & Marpi Point, Saipan Island", a National Historic Landmark District encompassing surviving World War II military infrastructure on Saipan.
