Pont Henllan Pillbox is a concrete defensive structure constructed during the Second World War as part of Britain's anti-invasion preparations. Located in Carmarthenshire, the pillbox forms part of the network of field fortifications erected across Wales between 1940 and 1941 to counter the threat of German invasion. The structure exhibits the characteristic design of Type 24 or similar standard pillbox models used extensively along vulnerable approaches to the Welsh coast and inland areas. As a scheduled ancient monument (Cadw reference CM375), it survives as physical evidence of the civil defence measures implemented during the critical early years of the Second World War.
