Linney Tobruk Shelters is a World War II anti-invasion defence site located in Pembrokeshire, Wales. The structure comprises a series of concrete tobruk gun emplacements, a form of defensive fortification characteristic of the emergency preparations undertaken along the Welsh coast during the period 1940 to 1941, when invasion by Nazi Germany was considered an imminent threat. These shelters represent the widespread deployment of small, crew-served anti-tank and anti-personnel positions that formed part of the wider British Home Defence network. The site remains as physical evidence of the wartime militarisation of the Pembrokeshire coastline and the civil and military response to potential invasion during the Second World War.
