The Allan Williams Turret was a pre-fabricated steel defence structure designed to be manned by two men with a machine gun, the men entering the dome through an entrance pit at the rear. The turret could be rotated through 360 degrees and so had an unlimited field of fire. With a variety of mountings, the turret could be used to fire a Lewis Gun, Bren Gun, Boys Anti-Tank Gun and a Browning machine gun. The rectangular hatch was for forward firing, with the circular hole at the top intended for an anti-aircraft role.
