Anti-invasion Defences 2000m NE of Cwmrhwyddfor Farm is a post-medieval defensive structure located in Meirionnydd, Wales, forming part of the extensive system of anti-invasion works constructed across Britain during the Second World War. The site comprises anti-tank obstacles designed to impede mechanised enemy forces in the event of a German invasion, reflecting the urgent fortification programme undertaken following the fall of France in 1940. Such defences were typically constructed from concrete or steel and positioned to block likely invasion routes and strategic approaches to inland settlements and communications. The monument is recorded as a Scheduled Ancient Monument under Cadw's care, preserving evidence of Britain's wartime defensive preparations along the Welsh coast and hinterland.
