Pentre-Cwrt Pillbox is a Second World War defensive structure located in Ceredigion, Wales. The pillbox forms part of the extensive anti-invasion fortifications constructed along the Welsh coast and inland areas during 1940 and 1941, when German invasion of Britain appeared an imminent threat. As a scheduled ancient monument under Cadw protection, it represents the archaeological record of civil defence preparations during the critical early years of the war. The structure exemplifies the standard pillbox design deployed across Britain during this period, constructed to provide defensive positions for troops guarding against potential amphibious assault.
