Ty Cwm Tawel Anti-invasion Defences is a post-medieval defensive site located in Carmarthenshire, Wales, constructed as part of Britain's coastal fortification programme against the threat of invasion. The defences date to the Napoleonic Wars period or the Second World War era, representing the military engineering responses to contemporary threats to national security. The site comprises earthwork fortifications characteristic of anti-invasion defence schemes, which typically included trenches, gun emplacements, and protective barriers positioned to command approaches to the Welsh coast. The monument is now designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument under the Welsh heritage protection system (Cadw reference CM372), recognising its historical and archaeological significance as evidence of Britain's military preparedness during a critical period of national defence.
