Allt Hengeraint Pillbox is a concrete defensive structure constructed during the Second World War as part of Britain's coastal and inland fortification programme. Located in Ceredigion, Wales, it represents the emergency preparedness measures undertaken by the military authorities between 1940 and 1941, when invasion by Nazi Germany was considered a genuine threat. The pillbox is a standard reinforced concrete construction typical of such field fortifications, designed to provide protected positions for small numbers of armed personnel. Its presence in the landscape reflects the strategic importance placed on defending the Welsh coast and hinterland during the critical early years of the war.
