Storey Arms Anti-invasion Defences is a system of Second World War defensive earthworks located in Breconshire, Wales. The site comprises infantry support trenches and anti-invasion features constructed during the period of heightened invasion threat, particularly following the fall of France in 1940. These defences reflect the strategic importance placed on protecting the Welsh landscape from potential German invasion, with the Brecon Beacons forming a significant tactical position. The surviving archaeological remains demonstrate the extent of civilian and military preparation undertaken across Britain during the early years of the Second World War.
