DHP No. 226 is a concrete pillbox located in Craigavon, County Armagh, Northern Ireland, constructed during the Second World War as part of the defensive infrastructure of the United Kingdom. The structure dates to the early 1940s, when such fortifications were erected across Northern Ireland in response to the threat of German invasion following the fall of France. The pillbox represents the type of small, reinforced concrete defensive position that was characteristic of Home Guard and military preparations during the middle years of the war. Its presence in Craigavon reflects the strategic importance attached to Ulster's industrial and transport infrastructure during the conflict.
