This one, i guess was a gun emplacement tagged as a bunker. there is another to south east. I would have expected historic= bucker or battery or gun emplacement. I couldn't find them in taginfo. https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=18/36.00184/-5.61131&layers=N

Hendrikklaas thanks for links. England still has some WW2 "Pill Boxes" that guarded major routes. They would have sheltered people armed with small arms not heavy field guns. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pillbox_(military)
